Our Staff Team
Who We Are
The Heart of the City, a mission of Grace Chapel, is a place for partnering nonprofits and other organizations to reside, share meeting space, and join hands in the effort to maximize each others' work toward maximum impact for the Wilsonville community as well as Clackamas County, the greater Portland area and even throughout the world.
The Heart of City allows a holistic approach to caring for people. We are eternal beings with three primary parts: our soul (or spirit), our mind, and our body. Each part needs to be nourished and cared for, and each part feeds the other; they are interdependent. We need to collectively listen to, care for, and exercise our soul, our mind, and our body.

Why We Do This
In response to the community need and our call to serve the whole person and whole community, Grace Chapel is founding The Heart of the City.
This mission, through a shared facility and support system, is a mission that addresses the mind, body and soul of each person. It will meet its purpose through connecting people, promoting health and wellness, expressing compassion and care, and providing personal development by maximizing resources via strategic partners

How We Do This
We will focus on leveraging what we have and giving ourselves away
This focus directly impacts how we create and manage all aspects of our operations. Whether we have a large or small space, an abundance or lack of funds, a large volunteer base or small, we will use whatever we have to be generous in meeting the needs of the whole person and the whole community.
