Rooted in Grace.

For over sixty years, Grace Lutheran Church has been a place where God’s love is experienced, faith is deepened, and lives are transformed. Our story is one of worship, service, and an enduring commitment to share the fullness of life in Christ with all people.

Our Story

On September 16, 1962, a small gathering of believers met for the first time at Effie Green School on Six Forks Road. Just four months later, on January 20, 1963, Grace Lutheran became an official congregation of the American Lutheran Church. By August of that same year, our first building—now the Fellowship Hall—was complete, made possible through the dedication of forty-five baptized and thirty-five confirmed charter members.

From those humble beginnings, the Grace family has flourished. Decade after decade, we have worshiped together, served our neighbors, and welcomed all who seek God’s love. Along the way, countless lives have been blessed and faith has taken root in hearts of all ages.

What Is A Lutheran?

When Lutherans talk about faith, we’re talking about the living relationship God’s Holy Spirit creates with us—a relationship rooted in God’s steadfast love and mercy through Jesus Christ. This grace frees us to trust boldly, live joyfully, and serve generously in every part of life. Martin Luther called it “a living, daring confidence in God’s grace”—so vibrant and certain that it naturally overflows in love and good works without ceasing.

Faith does not close our minds or hearts; it opens them. We listen to the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, to the witness of others, and to the ways God is active in the world around us. Faith invites conversation, welcomes questions, seeks truth, and speaks love in both word and deed. It is a full life—liberated by grace, sustained by hope, and always active in love.
