Power and Purpose

“Living Grace is more than just a ministry. It is a warming and accepting community that works together to understand and motivate eachother. Both Niki and Dave were always adamant to give everyone the same respect as themselves, no matter what they believed or their background. Truly, Living Grace made a change in my life. They made sure to listen, always doing their best to create a genuinely helpful and influential environment. I always felt like they truly wanted to help me grow, and in ways that I could handle. Living Grace is wonderful :). I highly encourage anyone who may be struggling, feeling stuck, confused, wanting to try something new or become a better version of yourself, really anyone, no matter what it is or who you are, to reach out to Living Grace Ministries. :)”

“Living Grace has been invaluable to my spiritual growth and emotional healing. David and Niki are wonderful leaders, and have been a major inspiration to my ability to make that leap. Both have helped me tremendously after I had suffered a series of devastating losses of my spouse and father, and a family friend in the last 18 months. They truly embody the name they are... Living Grace. As they have shown me tremendous grace in my season of hardship. They are very expansive in beliefs welcomed. They are Christian and Jesus centric, but you will find people everything from nondenominational to pentecostal... I have taken significant influence in gnosticism and Christian mysticism. While that would not be accepted in most ministries, the open discussions I have had regarding controversial interpretations of the bible made me feel welcomed and the belief that it is OK to discuss different viewpoints together with an open mind. Their leadership programs teach valuable skills in a platform I found easy to digest and gave me a new perspective.”

“Living Grace was a lot of things for me. It was a place where the people I cared about went and I was also given valuable advice for my life. Over time things shifted and I had spent a lot of time away from Living Grace. I was fairly uncomfortable with religion. While I may be spiritual at times being there felt hard due to my preconceived notions. Spending time there without the people I had originally been there with helped me realize that David and Niki only wanted what was best for each of us. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, heard, and seen. The weekly meetings as I liked to call them felt less about the religion I was so uncomfortable with and more about finding myself and meaning in my life. Even through a rough shift in my life and separating from some of the people who went with me to Living Grace previously I was told I would always have a space there and that I would always matter. In a lot of ways, they gave me an anchor in a rough time. I was cared for and knew that I always had them. The advice they gave and the reflections done with a group about myself were insightful. It left me with something to sit with and want to move forward and be better for myself because I deserve better for myself. PnP was a whole new experience for me. I was going through a rough time in my life heading into it, losing someone very important to me. It was difficult learning to move on from a person and way of living I did not want to let go of. In more ways than one, I was being held back by myself. PnP- as well as David and Niki themselves- helped me put a good foot forward and into focusing on me, my future, and my goals. I won’t say every day was good or easy for me, but the work and help meant a lot. I was challenged a lot by having to do things differently from my comfort zone and switching to a new lifestyle where my happiness and goals were the main priority and not a person. PnP helped me realize that on my own I am very capable and have the power to change my life, even if it is one baby step at a time or leaps and bounds. Progress is progress and they made me feel all the more seen for the small steps that would have otherwise gone unnoticed or swept under the rug.”
