On December 6, 1981, a few members of Christ Lutheran Church met at Berg’s Memorial Chapel, led by Pastor John Fiene. As Pastor Fiene shared the gospel of Christ, the congregation began to grow and soon had to move to a location with more space – the Mountain Shadows Reception Center. It was here, on March 21, 1982 that the name Grace Lutheran Church would be chosen, a constitution would be signed, and a formal call would be extended to Pastor Fiene. There were 103 baptized members, of which 71 were confirmed.
Grace Lutheran Church began construction on its current site in September 1983, and the first service was held here about 6 months later, on Palm Sunday 1984. The church began looking for ways they could serve the community, and it wasn’t very long before the Little Lambs Preschool was open to the public. The preschool would eventually grow to into a full-fledged elementary school, serving students from 2 years old through 5th grade. Buildout would continue through 1999 with 3 more expansions which led to the church building you’ll see today.
Since the buildout of the church was completed, Grace has helped establish Holy Trinity Lutheran Church; sent congregants on mission trips to Haiti, the Bahamas, and Belize; and continued to build their own Christian school. Grace is currently working on building a mission church in Spanish Fork, and growing their own congregation through various outreach events.
