LANSING, Ill. (March 17, 2018) – On Sunday, March 4, Grace Church ordained and officially installed Leroy Childress Jr as their Senior Pastor. He is the ninth pastor to serve in the 80-year history of the church.

Rev. Childress is originally from Baldwin, Michigan, and graduated from Eastern University. He has a Masters Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Liberty University. Childress has been serving at Grace Church since 2014 as Youth Pastor and since 2015 as Senior Pastor. March 4 marked his ordination into the Presbyterian Church of America.
