Governor DeSantis Recognizes Grace Family Church With Award for Dedication to the Tampa Bay Community

Grace Family Church is proud to announce that it has been honored with a prestigious award by Governor Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis. This award highlights the church’s exceptional contributions to the community through Care Portal and its unwavering commitment to service.

First Lady Casey DeSantis, speaking at the event, mentioned Grace Family Church for its outstanding efforts in fostering community spirit and providing support to those in need. “The Church exemplifies the values of dedication and service that are crucial to the strength and unity of our communities,” said Governor DeSantis. “Their work is a testament to the positive impact that faith-based organizations can have on society.”

Craig Altman, Lead Pastor of Grace Family Church, was appreciative of the award, sharing, “We are deeply honored to receive this award from Governor DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis. This acknowledgment reflects the hard work and devotion of our entire church community. We remain committed to continuing our mission of spreading hope, and support to those around us. This award will go directly back into the community, enabling us to meet even more needs through Care Portal.” Care Portal launched in 2020, and since then Grace Family Church has responded to over 800 requests in the community. These requests are equivalent to an economic impact of over $830,000.

Grace Family Church has been a cornerstone of the Tampa Bay community for many years, providing a range of services including youth programs, outreach initiatives, and support for families in need.
