Unveiling Grace is dedicated to finding our own story in the unique stories of the fellow Nazarenes who serve alongside us. We deeply love the church in the ways that she has shaped us, and we want you to hear from our guests about how the Church of the Nazarene has saved them. In a day and age where there is a lot of line drawing and finger pointing, we want to pull up a chair to the table of our people’s past and sit through their stories. Through our guests and the telling of their stories, we will veil the identity of the storyteller until the very end, with the hope that you will allow their story to shape your view of them, rather than what you have heard about them. Thanks for considering joining us as we invite fellow Nazarenes to tell their story of why they love this church and why they have stayed!
