Grace City Church Rome pastors and families

We’re a Bible-Believing, Jesus-Centered church that believes in the power of the Holy Spirit to change real people’s lives.


We preach the Word of God unapologetically and we build authentic relationships by doing life together in community.


We call the men to step up and lead themselves and their families with intentionality, so they can stand firm and thrive in the midst of cultural chaos and confusion.


We exist to help more people meet, love, and follow Jesus.
