With a population of approximately 30,000 people, Aiken, SC is located in western South Carolina, approximately 40 mile east of Augusta, GA.
Grace Church was founded in 1974, when several families from the Mansfield, Ohio, area were sent to Aiken to build a new manufacturing facility (now known as ASCO). Having come from Grace Brethren churches in Ohio, the families banded together to begin a Grace Brethren Church here. In 1975, Steve Taylor became pastor of the newly formed church. Services were held in the old Aiken Community Playhouse at the corner of Price Avenue and Two Notch Road. In 1983, the church building was completed on Talatha Church Road, and in subsequent years, five additions and expansions were completed..
