What Grace Place Ministries does

Grace Place Ministries is a private nonprofit religious organization operating Grace Place Church, a local Christian congregation based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The church was launched in 2023 by Senior Pastors Daniel and Liz Newton, who collectively bring 25 years of ministry experience spanning one-on-one mentoring, itinerant ministry, evangelistic outreach, and international missions. The organization runs weekly Sunday worship services at 5pm in Sioux Falls, focused on biblical teaching, worship, and the development of both the fruit and power of the Holy Spirit.

The ministry's product portfolio centers on discipleship rather than conventional goods or services. Core offerings include the Grace Place School of Discipleship, a comprehensive 10-month in-person program establishing a biblical foundation; 'The Lost Art of Discipleship,' an online course; and a catalog of 18 books and one workbook authored by Pastor Daniel Newton, distributed through an online store. Distribution channels combine a single physical location in Sioux Falls with global digital reach via a Wix-hosted website, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

The business model is donation-driven. The primary revenue stream is voluntary tithes and offerings from the local congregation, supplemented by modest e-commerce sales of books and resources through the online store. There are no disclosed enterprise donors, grants, or diversified funding sources. The organization employs approximately 10 people and operates without a parent company, holding structure, or external investors. Revenue figures, attendance metrics, and financial statements are not publicly disclosed.
