WELCOME TO THE CENTER

strengthening families and individuals, nurturing children and building community

Our community is a diverse, unique blend of people from backgrounds spanning class, race, culture, and language. The Center of Grace sits in the heart of downtown Olathe, an ideal location for programs that benefit our whole community – from the most vulnerable in need of basic services, to those looking to bring self-sufficiency and stability to their lives. Inspired by faith and empowered by our many community partnerships, our mission is to build relationships that lead to lasting change for our city.

The Center of Grace welcomes and serves everyone regardless of race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs or different ability.
