When you stop by Friday you'll notice the church door is red. According to the church's website a Red Door was meant to symbolize sanctuary. A safe place. A harbor. Somewhere that is protected and secure. That is why at Grace their front door is painted red - a tradition that sends the message that you are welcome here.
