Where did we come from?

In 1994 Grace Community Church was formed by our senior pastor, John Gillespie.

In 1996, having been homeless for several months after leaving its former Methodist premises, the church eventually secured a farmhouse and potato storage barn in the village of Morval 2.5 miles from the fishing village and seaside resort of Looe.

The barn was converted on the inside into a church building by an economical method that left the outside still looking like an agricultural building. This provides Mr Gillespie with an apt illustration to regularly remind his people in the style of the letters to the seven churches of Revelation that they must remain faithful or the Lord will turn the building back into a potato shed.

Several years ago an adjoining 7-acre field was purchased and prayerfully, plans to hold a Grace Family Bible Week began began to unfold. The first Grace Family Bible Week took place in the summer of 2003. Please see www.gfbwmorval.co.uk for details.

In 2008 a planning application focusing on improved facilities for our young worshippers (under 11s and teens) was unanimously approved by the District Council. We Hope to complete the improvement by the middle of 2011.

Prior to our improved facility planning application, Grace Community Church after much prayer, took the decision to reachout to our neighbouiring communities by opening (planting) new places of worship.

In February 2006 we extended our family and planted a second church in Torpoint, East Cornwall. God has really blessed Torpoint Community Church with growth well beyond our prayers.

In January 2008 our second church plant opened for weekly Sunday services in Bodmin, Central Cornwall. Bodmin Community Church quickly developed excellent relations with its host school and with their own puppet ministry is fast consolidating its positon as a family friendly local church.

The Grace Community Church family now extends to over 300 worshipping children and adults.

As a family of churches our desire is to take Jesus Christ into our communities. These are exciting and challenging times - would you like to join us?
