About Grace Presbyterian Church

Grace Presbyterian Church in Silicon Valley has a mission to bring people who are persuaded and unconvinced into the community, where they can grow as Jesus, work His work of forgiving and regenerating them so that they can then go out into the world and live for a story that is bigger than themselves.

According to the church’s website, in addition to the traditional worship service held on Sundays, Grace Presbyterian Church also hosts a number of community clubs and activities, as well as gatherings in a number of different settings.

It also stated that even if they had not yet converted to Christianity, it is quite important for them to get together with other Christians, as feeling a sense of belonging frequently comes before actually believing.

Grace Presbyterian Church was founded in 2000 with the intention of being a church dedicated to the spread of the good news of Jesus Christ and carrying out the work He came to do.

In 2010, Grace opened a second location in the San Jose region. They remained a multi-site church until November 2018 when Grace South Bay officially separated and founded its own congregation. 

Starting in April 2022, they have been holding services at our new ministry building on N. California Ave in Palo Alto.
