 Grace Christian Church is quite new to LeRoy but the
building has been a local landmark for many years. The new congregation began holding services in 2006 after the former Baptist congre-gation graciously sold the building and
nearly all of its furnishings and equipment to the new folks. This has
greatly assisted Grace Christian get started and a hearty thanks
goes to the fine Baptist Christians who made this gift.
Dick Burlingame is the minister.
After a career in the insurance business he has "retired" to LeRoy to
lead this congregation. The Leroy Independent and Austin
Herald have both run feature stories about the new congregation,
providing lots of details about how this came about and the people
involved.
Please look at the sidebar articles describing what sort of church
this is. As you can clearly see from
these positional statements, we intend to do whatever the Bible tells us
is necessary to live our lives and not to require anything else.
There is a lot of freedom in that and a lot of personal responsibility.
But that is precisely what most Christians believe in their hearts
anyway, regardless of affiliations they now have or previously had.
Everyone who wants to worship
God is welcome at Grace Christian. Stay a bit longer and join in
the Coffee Fellowship following every Sunday service. And there is a
potluck dinner following morning services every 3rd Sunday of January,
March, May, July, September and November.
