Grace helped her husband and family plant Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, named in honor of her parents as her dad has gone home to be with the Lord. At Trinity Church, Grace leads the Real Women life groups. In her free time, Grace likes finding good deals on shoes, spending time with her family, and catching up with friends.
