Grace Presbyterian Church (Peoria, Illinois)

[9] The Church's first permanent location, at Wayne Street and Madison Avenue, was a wooden structure built in 1873.

[13] It was during this time that Grace's Sunday sermon was carried on over 150 broadcast stations across the United States, Canada, Latin America and Africa.

A congenial departure agreement allowed Grace Presbyterian to leave the denominational alliance without sacrificing property ownership rights.

[16] Education and Sunday School continue to be an important focus of the church, which moved to its current 60 acre campus in 2010.

In 2010, the church built a new 110,000 square foot facility containing worship space, classrooms, recreational and administrative areas.

[6] Based on five years of planning and discussion, the auditorium style worship center features theater seating and studio quality lighting.

Once known for its conservative and orderly mode of Protestant worship, the congregation retained some traditional elements from the former building.
