Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
35 Years
What is your primary product or service?
We serve the community by fulfilling God's mandate for the local church, "To be the Pillar and Support of the Truth" (1 Tim 3:15). Which means we are to be obedient to the truth and teach God's truth, the bible so that we then have the privilege to...... "Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I (Jesus) have commanded you." (Mat. 28:19-20)
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As a regular 8-5, 5 or 6-days a week worker in the aerospace industry, in 1984 God called our family to fellowship with Grace Community Church. After eighteen years of growing my faith in Jesus, and serving our church, God called me to leave the aerospace industry to go into full time ministry as an associate pastor of Grace, as Pastor of Family Ministries.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Because we are a church made up of people just like you. Many moving to Riverside to purchase their first home, while others have lived here all their lives. In spite of our differences, we have a common goal, to love Jesus Christ and please Him in our daily lives. Some days we’re more successful than others...but like we said, we’re just like you.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location, but we are in the midst of building a new Worship Center, to accommodate our growing ministry.
Provide detailed directions to your location
We are located at 4247 Van Buren Blvd, which is one-mile north of the 91 Fwy on Van Buren Blvd, just north of California Avenue, directly across from Food-4-Less.
What type of payments do you accept?
No one needs to pay to come worship at Grace Community Church, our church is supported by Christians who have made Grace their church home and give freely based on their love for God, as an act of worship unto our Lord.
