At Living Grace, we exist to glorify God, by worshiping, following, and sharing Him with every part of our lives, and making disciples who make disciples. You will see that the Word of God is central here. We believe the Spirit of God uses the WORD of GOD to transform the children of God. Our gatherings are saturated with God's Word. Our standard will always be God's Word. What we teach and preach is God's Word. As a church, we want to lead, gather, and live the way Christ and the early church intended. We intend to be unashamedly BIBLICAL, relentlessly GRACIOUS, and radically GENEROUS. Living Grace Church was formerly Tyler First Church of God which restarted in 2019 as Living Grace Church.
