Reaching Out - Lifting Up - Drawing Close ______________________________________________________________
At the crossroads of Busch Blvd., Dale Mabry and Linebaugh Avenue in the Carrollwood area of north Tampa is a community of faith with a mission,
“To Know Christ and to Make Christ Known”
We are the community of Grace Lutheran Church. In Christ’s name we welcome you. Come learn, laugh and grow with us in our pursuit of a more excellent way of life.
Check out our new Sunday morning worship schedule below. Newcomers and guests are always welcome.
Please come in and take a look through the “window” of this home page into the community and life of Grace Lutheran Church. You will find events for work and pleasure, service and learning. You’ll meet groups open for participation with opportunities to grow and places to serve.
All is done in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Recognizing God’s gifts in each person is important to us at Grace.
Encouraging the pursuit of them is even more important. We hope you’ll discover an area of interest and a place where you can pursue your talents, gifts, skills and time. We look forward to seeing you.

Stephen Ministry
Compassion: Deeply sharing the suffering of another, together with the inclination to give aid or support. As we look at Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection, we observe the ultimate example of compassion. He now calls us to follow his example and to be deeply concerned for one another. Stephen Ministry is a ministry filled with compassion. It provides compassionate Christians with a place where they can use those gifts in ministry as a Stephen Minister. It also provides a haven where those in need of compassion can receive it in a confidential relationship with a Stephen Minister. If you would like to know more about Stephen Ministry, or have a strong need for compassion from a fellow Christian, please contact a Stephen leader (Mickey Castor, Louie Dalton, Jim Kamer, Judy Copeland or Pr. Hillmer).
