Community of Grace Arrives in
Walla Walla, Washington
Chris and Karen Carlile have been married for thirteen years and have five children (two girls and three boys). The Carliles moved their family of seven to Walla Walla in June of 2012 with a vision of planting a gospel focused church. They have spent their entire married life serving in both the local church and in para-church ministries. Once becoming licensed in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, Chris felt the call to church planting. The Carlile family returned to the town where Chris was born and raised in the hopes of sharing Jesus Christ with those whom their lives would cross.
Our vision is to be a church that is grounded in the essential truths of the Gospel, that we would preach and practice these truths and that we would be committed to one another in the body and committed to the community around us.
The Carlile Family
