Tyler and Ryah Eckel
December 2024
Tyler and Ryah Eckel have attended Community Grace since middle school and freshman year of college respectively. About their relationship to the church they say, "We love growing our family here! We serve in the youth ministry, worship team, are active in our small group, and love to support all ministries in this church!
We are passionate about the growth of the body of Christ and want to see as many people come to the Lord as possible! Community Grace has time and time again continued to support families and individuals of all ages, instilling truth and grace into the discipleship of others. We love this church because of the intentional discipleship and the love for God’s children. Giving to the Building Impact Initiative is a great way to directly make a difference and support the growth of the church!"
Building Impact Locally & Globally
Since my ministry at Community Grace Church started in January 2020, I have been privileged to be part of seeing our church building impact in amazing ways! This has happened through the faithful generosity and participation of you, our attendees and members.
It is exciting for our church to be on a steady growth curve as we increase in ministry reach, small groups, membership, and weekly attendance. As we look to the future, we are asking you to continue building impact so we can continue seeing God glorified in our community and beyond. Next year, we will expand our focus in the global mission by adopting the Fulani people. In just a few short years, LCA will be leaving our campus and our desire is to effectively grow our ministry and mission locally during that change, which requires investment in our church building's needs. Will you partner and invest in this initiative, above your regular giving? We are building impact to fulfill our vision to "worship the King, mature as family, and engage the world."
- Pastor Reg Overstreet
Our Recent Church Growth In Numbers
In the last four years we have strengthened our ministries and we have started new ministries: Hospitality Ministries, Friday Night Soccer, Men’s Leadership Class, Community Care Fund, and many others. We’ve also added six staff members to our team, launched our new vision statement, annual church goals, and experienced double digit budget increases.
Marriages are being restored; people are getting counseled and set free; children are being discipled by their parents; people are being trained and sent out; nations are being reached; we are all growing as worshipers.
YOUR GENEROSITY IS BUILDING IMPACT!
We are raising $200,000 to continue building impact in our community and our world for generations to come!
How This Money Will Be Used
LOCAL MINISTRY AND MISSION
Major Facility Needs - Our current A/C has lasted 25 years, praise God, but it is dying and repair is not possible. Caring for our building and providing cool air in our warm summer months is crucial to continue making impact in our community.
Ministry Impact and Facility Enhancements - We will continue to update and optimize our worship center and gym spaces by addressing acoustic treatment and upgrading technology fitting for future growth. Handicap accessibility will be added to our upstairs youth room.
Preparing for LCA's Transition - We will prepare reserves for when Lakeland Christian Academy moves out of our building in 2-3 years. When that happens, we will move our nursery and offices and transform our campus for further exciting impact in the community.
Outreach to the Nations Among Us Including Soccer and Hispanic Outreach - Friday night soccer at Community Grace has become well-known in our community. We hope to grow that outreach and are adding new methods of impacting the many nations which live among us in Warsaw.
GLOBAL MINISTRY AND MISSION
We will launch our strategic mission focus to adopt the Fulani people of Central Africa. This will include celebrating an adoption ceremony and sending a vision and prayer team to ministry to them in 2024.

Faith Promise Card
Faith Promise Sunday was February 4, 2024, and we celebrate that 73% of our $200,000 was given or turned in by faith promise commitment by that day. But there is still farther to go. Community Grace's elders have asked everyone to participate in the Building Impact Initiative to some extent by making "Faith promises" for 2024, so that it is a truly all-church endeavor that we all share. These faith promises will be anonymous and just between you and God, but a tremendous help for us to track the amounts promised toward the initiative. Weekly and monthly gifts add up significantly over time. Putting aside just $50 per month adds up to $600 toward the initiative!
Please prayerfully read through the Faith Promise Card and consider how the Lord may be leading you to participate in Building Impact in 2024. Then, fill out a hard copy and place in an offering box or deliver to the church office, or send an electronic copy to office@communitygrace.org.
You can download a .pdf version of the Faith Promise Card or pick one up at the Connection Center. Thank you, Church Family. We are on this mission together!
