About Us

Grace Church International was founded initially as the English ministry of Grace Chinese Christian Church to disciple the children of Chinese migrants.
But as time went on, our desire grew for those who lived in our neighbourhood, and God brought people from a variety of ethnicities to our church. Today, our congregation consists of approximately 230 people from all ages and backgrounds, including 20 children (primary-age and under) and 40 youth (high-school age).
