Our Story

A Place to Belong, Believe, and Become

Grace Family Church was founded in 2012 by Pastor Nathan and Laurie Hurst with one mission in mind: to create a place where people could encounter Jesus, grow strong in their faith, and live life in genuine biblical community.

What started as a small gathering has grown into a thriving church in the heart of the Quad Cities. Located in Davenport, Iowa, we’re a non-denominational Christian church with a heart for people and a passion for Jesus. Our church family continues to expand—not just in numbers, but in spiritual depth, unity, and purpose.

We now host two Sunday services, not just because we’ve grown, but because every individual matters. Every story matters. And your story belongs here too.

Our Vision

At the core of Grace Family Church, our vision is simple:

Connect people to Jesus Christ in a personal and transformative way.

We believe every person was designed with purpose, created for connection, and invited to live a life of bold, unshakable faith. We’re here to empower you, equip you, and walk with you—as you become everything God created you to be.

We’re not just building a church…

We’re building people. We’re building families. We’re building legacy.

Our Mission

To help people take their next step toward Christ—in their home, in their calling, and in their community.

Whether that next step is joining us for the first time, giving your life to Jesus, getting baptized, serving others, or finding freedom from the past…

We are here to walk that journey with you.

What We Believe

We are a Bible-believing, Jesus-centered, Spirit-led church.

At Grace Family Church, our beliefs are not just doctrine—they shape everything we do.

Core Beliefs

THE BIBLE

Discover the divine accuracy of the Bible, a God-inspired text free from error, as affirmed in 2 Tim. 3:15-17, 1 Pet. 1:23, Heb. 4:12. Over 200 Old Testament prophecies, penned by various authors over millennia, precisely foretell Jesus' life, from birth to death, underscoring the Bible's authenticity through statistical analysis.

GOD

Christian doctrine states the Trinity: God as the Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit, each with equal power and authority. Key scriptural references include 1 John 5:7, John 10:30, Luke 1:35, and Col. 1:15-17, affirming their distinct yet unified roles.

JESUS

Jesus, fully human and divine, is God's sole plan for reconciliation with humanity. His life, death, and resurrection, as detailed in Col. 2:9, Isa. 9:6, John 1:14, Phil. 2:5-11, Matt. 1:23, offer eternal life and affirm His future return as King.

SALVATION

Salvation, a gift from God, is received through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection, not by human effort, as stated in Rom. 6:23, II Cor. 9:15, Eph. 2:8-9.

SEXUALITY & MARRIAGE

Marriage is the God-designed institution where one man, born biologically as a man, and one woman, born biologically as a woman, enter into a lifelong, exclusive relationship. This holy relationship is a parallel of Christ and His bride—the Church. Gen. 2:20-25, Heb. 13:4, Matt. 19:4-6, Eph. 5:21-33
