Our Story

Grace United Methodist began with a group of like-minded United Methodists who shared a common vision of being a United Methodist presence in the Prattville area. In the wake of disaffiliation, a United Methodist community gathered in the meeting room of the Hampton Inn and Suites in Prattville, AL, on March 26th, 2023. During this gathering, faithful United Methodists gathered in worship led by Rev. Chris McCain and shared in the hopes of being a part of a new community they felt God was calling them to.

 

This community would continue to meet in the meeting room of the hotel until finding a home at the Grandview YMCA in May of 2023. Today, this gathering has continued to call the Grandview YMCA home and also found its name, Grace United Methodist Church. From the early days in a hotel meeting room, Grace has sought to be more than just a place to worship. We are a community of faith committed to sharing God’s love, serving our neighbors, and welcoming all people. What began in a hotel meeting room has grown into a vibrant and welcoming congregation, offering worship, fellowship, and ministry opportunities for all ages.

 

Our story is still being written, and we believe God is continuing to call us to plant seeds of grace and hope in the Prattville community and beyond.
