The story

More than a century on Broadway.

A Swedish congregation built this red brick and stone church more than a hundred years ago. Back then it was known as the Evangelical Covenant Church.

Grace Legacy Builders bought the building in 2011, and soon after, a fire badly damaged it. Contractors, plumbers, builders, youth groups and friends of Grace Legacy Builders gave many hours of work and many gifts, and together they renovated the whole building. We’re grateful to gather here every Sunday.

Planning a wedding? Grace Legacy Builders rents the chapel for weddings.

Inside

What you’ll find here.

The sanctuary

Wooden pews on the main floor and a balcony above, with a stained glass window over the stage. It’s an old room with a lot of character.

River City Kids

On Sunday mornings, kids check in at the River City Kids kiosk in the kids wing lobby. A hallway lead is there to help.

Nights for the neighborhood

We love opening the building to our neighbors for things like concerts and block parties. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you come on Sundays.
