Our History
Grace Lutheran Church, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (www.elca.org), held its first worship service on Palm Sunday of 1965. A group of thirty-six families formally organized on September 23, 1965. Since then, Grace has grown to be a spiritual home for almost 1,000 people in Grafton, Cedarburg, and the surrounding areas.
Grace has always been open to change and growth, which is reflected visually in our gathering spaces. Beyond the original church building, Grace has completed multiple building expansion projects: a new worship center in 1974; additional classrooms, new offices, and a library/lounge in 1988; a major worship center and gathering space renovation in 1996; and in 2007, the office and youth room were reconfigured to make space for the growing staff. In our 50th year of ministry in 2015, Grace underwent an expansive renovation and addition to improve functional spaces for youth and education, meetings, music, the Adult Literacy Center, gathering space and other improvements.
Our People
Our story of growth continues with our congregation; because truly, Grace is all about people. At Grace, we welcome all who look for opportunities to serve our loving God through compassion and support for our members and for our community. Through our youth groups, mission trips, food drives and meal service, VBS program, craft fair, hosting the Adult Literacy Center, silly plays, and more, the people of Grace strive joyfully to be the hands of God in our world today.
