🎉 Celebrating Pastor Molly King! 🎉

What a joy it was to celebrate Pastor Molly King’s ordination and her new call to Zion Lutheran Church in Obetz, Ohio! ⛪️💙

For 10 years, Molly has been a beloved part of the Grace family—walking alongside our children, youth, families, and congregation through moments of joy, growth, challenge, worship, and service. We are deeply grateful for the gifts, energy, faith, and love she has shared with us over the years.

While we will certainly miss having Molly here at Grace, we are excited to see where God is leading her next and grateful that her journey in ministry continues in this new chapter.

Please join us in congratulating Pastor Molly and praying for her as she begins her ministry at Zion Lutheran!

“I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy…”
— Philippians 1:3–4

Congratulations, Pastor Molly! We love you, we are proud of you, and we will always be grateful that your story is part of the Grace story. 💙🙏
