Grace Presbyterian Church of Fort Payne, Alabama, was formed in 1986 when several families of committed Christians of various fellowships found themselves united in an effort to serve God more effectively through adherence to God's scriptural Holy Word. The Bible, God's Holy Word, is the unshakable foundation of our beliefs.
   
    We became affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America because of our belief that God's plan involves Christians working together by His power to accomplish greater things. Early teaching included an in-depth study of the Westminster Confession of Faith, led by Rev. David Hammond of Westminster PCA in Huntsville, AL. Our mission pastor for almost two years was Rev. Ray Dameron of Lookout Mountain, GA, and Covenant College. Special speakers included Rev. Paul Alexander of Westminster PCA in Huntsville and Rev. Frank Barker of Briarwood PCA in Birmingham.
  
     Initial meetings of this body were in homes; for a short period, worship was held at Howard's Chapel in Mentone. Once remodeling was completed on the former J.C. Penney building in downtown Fort Payne, this became our church home. In January 1996 we moved into a new facility at 5760 Gault Avenue, NW, located on the Valley Head Highway north of Fort Payne High School. In April 2000 dedication services were held for the new sanctuary and offices.
