We are Grace City Church in Rome, Georgia.

We preach the Word of God unapologetically and seek to apply the truths of the gospel to our everyday lives. We build authentic relationships by doing real life together in community. And we call the men to step up and lead their families with intentionality, so that they, their wives, and their children can stand firm and thrive in the midst of cultural chaos and confusion.
