Grace since 1966.
For six decades, Grace has gathered around expository preaching and the good news of God’s redeeming grace in Jesus Christ.
A church formed around the Word.
In the spring of 1966, a group formed in the Janesville area seeking to promote expository preaching based on the gospel of God’s redeeming grace as found in Scripture.
Led by Pastor Daniel Wolf, they began meeting in the basement of the Monterey Hotel, where they stayed for many months. In 1969, the Olver family donated land on Afton Road, and a church building became their permanent home.
In 1975, the church joined the Evangelical Free Church of America, an association of churches that began in the upper Midwest, united around a shared statement of faith while maintaining the autonomy of each local congregation.
In 2011, Dennis Anderson transitioned into the senior pastor role, serving in partnership with associate pastor Gary Beeman.
The gospel, starting here and going beyond.
Grace was founded by men and women with a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ. That same clear mission remains today: the increase of the gospel, starting in the Janesville and Beloit area and extending worldwide.
