The Heartbeat of Grace

“The world isn’t looking for a successful, powerful, all conquering church.
It’s looking for a church that looks like Jesus, our servant King.”


A church that will love them authentically through their presence with them,
and service to them.

A church that will prove to them that they’re worth dying for.

A church that’s willing to sacrifice its treasure for the hungry, the homeless, those in prison, those that society shuns. Not just simply using it for the building of places of worship for itself, but also in the reaching out and caring for those that everyone else forgets.

A church that’s willing to lay down its own agenda and follow Jesus wherever he leads them.
(If you’re following Jesus you will find yourself amongst the poor, the hungry, the broken, the refugee, the forgotten and the overlooked. And if you don’t, are you even following Jesus?)

This is the love that overcomes the world. This is the love that leaves them undone.


This is the love that our Saviour demonstrated when He left heaven and lived amongst the poor, the outcast, the powerless and the weak.

This is the love that saw Him lay down His life for every single person on the planet,
not just the Jews.

This is the love that He’s offering us and asking us to share with the communities
that we’re planted in.

This is the love that opens wide the door to our salvation.

Our Church

Grace Church is a church with a difference. We offer upbeat contemporary Christian services in a relaxed friendly environment. We speak your language because we’re made up of trades people, business executives, students, teachers, the young and the old – people just like you who want to know about God in the context of their day-to-day lives. We are a Bible-believing church that endeavours to introduce people to Jesus and experience all that life has to offer along the way. After all, Jesus himself said that he had come that we might enjoy life to the full, and it makes sense that the one who created all life would know the best way of living it.

Join us each Sunday at 10am

Why we don’t hold church at the Grace Centre

It’s a question that we often get asked and each time we tell people that we don’t hold church services at the Grace Centre because we want our local community to experience what it means to be loved by our church without any strings attached. We decided when we purchased the old Rokeby Tavern that we would create a meeting place for our local community, something that everyone could be proud of and benefit from. If we were to have church there then some people would think that we were only fixing the place up to grow our church and get people through our doors. By not having church at the Centre it takes our motive off the table as we’re not looking to benefit from the good that we do in our local community. Hopefully by putting our blood, sweat and tears where our mouths are, people will realise that we really do care about our community and maybe in some small way, we can then through our actions, point them towards the love that God has for each and every one of them.

The Grace Centre

Our gift to our community

In November of 2015 our church purchased the Village Green tavern in Rokeby (11 Ralphs Terrace Rokeby). Located on nearly 5 acres of land in the middle of Clarence Plains the property was ideally situated to become a hub for community meetings and activities and as an administration base for local community groups throughout the week. Over the past 8 years that dream has become a reality. The heart of all that we do at the Grace Centre is to support the wonderful work being done by so many amazing organisations and individuals in our local area.
