Shades of Grace: New church with curious name discovers homeless community
KINGSPORT, Tenn. -- The Rev. Will Shewey was so determined to begin a storefront ministry for forgotten people that he was willing to resign as an elder in the United Methodist Church to make it happen.
Less than a year after its first worship service, Shades of Grace has its own location, offering a complex ministry every day of the week for an inner-city community. Average worship attendance is 160, with a high of 310.
