Great Grace Church of God in Christ, formerly known as Great Grace Family Worship Center, continues a nearly 150-year tradition of worship in the oldest dedicated edifice still being used for worship in Arkansas City.
The historic Fifth Avenue United Presbyterian Church sanctuary bears a cornerstone stamped 1874 and it has never been used for any other purpose.
In recent years, there has only been one change to the interior, the creation of a unisex restroom on the main level, and one exterior change with the addition of a powered lift to increase access to the main level.
The irreplaceable stained-glass windows include a biblical depiction of the New Jerusalem. The stained-glass windows on the main level are nearly 100 years old. Pending improvement projects include the restoration of the bell tower on the southwest corner.
