HOW IT ALL STARTED
Grace Coastal Church was founded in 1998, originally known as Okatie Presbyterian.
The church property now sits on 12.5 acres and includes 1 additional building hosting a membership of over 150 people. In addition, the church also accommodates the Learning Together Lowcountry, a Christian homeschool group with over 200 children from 120 families.
Since 1998 Grace Coastal Church has been a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and is part of the Lowcountry Presbytery, which includes churches from Summerville to Charleston to Hilton Head.
Grace Coastal Church is a community active church with its facilities being used by the following organizations: Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, Beaufort Alliance, A-A, Sun City bible study, Learning Together Low-country, Beaufort Review Board, and AL-Anon.
EXPANDING THE VISION…
The worship is gospel-focused and designed to follow the story of redemption, including aspects of each major section of that story: the initiating call of God, the praise in the garden, acknowledging the effects of the fall in confession, and celebrating the joy of redemption and restoration in Christ, and pointing in word and sacrament to the eternal kingdom of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and a sending with God’s blessing as we work in hope of that coming kingdom.
We are currently holding a single service, with Adult and Children Education classes held before the service. We also livestream the 10:00 AM Sunday service to our website, Facebook, and YouTube. Audio versions of each sermon are also made available as podcasts distributed to services such as iTunes and Spotify.
