MISSION STATEMENT
"To exemplify Christ and to personify love through grace"
HISTORY
After much prayer, and fasting, Elder Beryl I. Cowthran shared a vision with seven people of like mind. The eight met often to pray and plan and would decide to organize Grace Hill Church, “The Place Where God Heals”. On Thursday, August 10, 2017, the church was incorporated as a non-profit organization. Grace Hill Church held its first worship service at 1211 Airport Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana on Sunday, October 8, 2017. The membership immediately grew from seven to over twenty members. During this time, the vision was expanded and expounded upon. The Vision, Mission, and Grace Expectations were shared by Pastor Cowthran and founding member, Omosefe Amen, was inspired to pray and share the Grace Agreements. The church remained at this location until June 2018. In June, the church moved to 1303 Line Avenue where it continues to flourish. March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic. Immediately, Grace Hill Church pivoted to online worship. The ministry remained in cadence with the voice of God. Founding member Minister Tariq Hill continued astutely managing the business matters of the ministry while Pastor Cowthran continued attending to the spiritual needs of the membership while navigating within the space of a new virtual reality. During this time, the ministry leaders remained innovative in creating and imagining what the new virtual church needed to look like. Several members started returning to the sanctuary Resurrection Sunday April 4, 2021. We continue to disciple the Church to impact the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We endeavor to teach others that Jesus is the light of the world; thereby, encouraging them to transform from visionless lives to living purpose-filled according to the God's divine plan. We hope to be examples of Christ in deed while personifying His loving character through grace.
VISION STATEMENT
“Grace Hill will be a church of common people with a common belief and a common culture for Kingdom building.”
