About Us
History
Grace Leadership Institute is found at 701 Holland Street. The site and building have both religious and historical significance. The property was purchased in 1897 by the Swedish Baptist Church. The existing house was removed, and a red brick gothic style church was erected in 1906. In 1939 the name was changed to Grace Baptist Church and services were changed to be held in English so that more effective outreach would occur. The church relocated to 38th and Colonial in 1959 to further enhance outreach, and the property at 701 Holland passed through several hands until it returned to Grace Church in 2019. After the exterior and interior of the building were renovated, Grace Leadership Institute was established and had its initial programs start in the Fall of 2021.
