Grace Community Bible Church is an independent church located less than five miles outside Pueblo in southeastern Colorado.

One elementary school is about half a mile away. We have been allowed to hold a Good News Club at that school. The area is primarily middle class, with a mix of working-class families and professionals. It is a rural setting with a suburban feel.
