OUR STORY

Grace Presbyterian Church was a church plant of Seven Rivers Church in Lecanto, FL. For years, the staff and church family at Seven Rivers Church prayed and dreamed of planting a church near The Villages, FL.

Initially called Seven Rivers Villages Church, we had our first worship service in Wildwood in October 2021. We met at the Wildwood Community Center until December 2024. In January 2025, we began meeting at our current location in Sumterville, as our new temporary home.

On February 8, 2026, we celebrated God’s faithfulness to our church by moving from a church plant to a particular church, which included installing Pastor Stephen Speaks as the founding pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, and installing our first Ruling Elders.

God has been gracious to us as we pray and dream about where to plant our roots and establish our permanent church facility.

We have our eye on some beautiful property in the Eastern area of where The Villages is expanding.

We trust God in his perfect leading, perfect timing, and we surrender our timeline to His. We firmly believe He is at work behind the scenes for our good and the furthering of His Kingdom work. This is an exciting time to be a part of GRACE!
