GRACE BIBLE CHURCH
Sharing the Riches of God’s Grace with an Impoverished World
By experiencing His grace in our individual lives
Allowing His grace to reshape our hearts, our minds, our mouths, our hands and our feet
By building a community characterized by His grace
The artwork at the front of the sanctuary entitled “God with Us” was created especially
for our church. The image represents the rending of the veil in God’s temple at the
death of Christ (see Ex. 26:31-33; Mt. 27:51, Mk. 15:38; Hb. 9:3). There are 66 pieces of steel and copper that represent the number of books of
the Bible, along with further symbols of people and events from Scripture. For further
explanation and detail, visit the Welcome Center.
