Our Ministry

From the basement of a home, to a storefront facility, to a storage building, the congregation of Grace Christian Church eventually constructed a permanent home on a hilltop in Helena, celebrating the first worship service in their new sanctuary on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2003. For more than twenty years, we have welcomed others to join us from wherever they are on their individual journeys of faith, seeking wholeness in a fragmented world.

Grace Christian Church belongs to the Alabama-Northwest Florida Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Reverend Brad Henderson has been leading our congregation in worship since September 2015. He is a gifted, ordained minister with more than three decades of ministry experience. He can be reached via email at brad.henderson1@icloud.com. His office hours are Monday through Thursday during the day from home. If you have an urgent need for assistance on Friday or Saturday, please call the main church number: (205) 426-1233.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our services have also been accessible via the Zoom videoconferencing platform, letting us use our computers to come together as a virtual community of faith.
