We exist to serve church-planting churches through recruiting, equipping, funding, and prayer
Featured Planters
Nathan and Julie Hoag
The Sacred Grace - Englewood, Colorado - thesacredgrace.com
Nathan and Julie Hoag began praying about planting a church in and for their neighborhood. Their lives were dis-integrated: work, play, church, family, etc. all seemed to be in different placed with different people. They have spent most of their lives in the Denver area and have seen how quickly population density and commercial growth have contributed to the disintegration of people. In early 2016, a group of 10-15 people began gathering with the Hoags to pray for God’s kingdom to come as it is in heaven. Since, God has grown His church from the Hoag’s initial prayer group to a regular attendance of 100+ adults connecting weekly online or in person, and the church has made a significant impact on the neighbors, schools, and government.

Rem and Laura Dyas
Rem (short for Remington) Dyas was born in Springfield, Illinois and from there moved all around as a pastor’s kid. At one point his family moved to Leoti, KS where he attended High School. After graduating, he attended Greenville College, double majoring in youth ministry and coaching.
During his sophomore year at Greenville College, he married his high school sweetheart, Laura Berning (born and raised in Leoti, KS). He also started working part-time at a church in Hillsboro, Illinois as their youth pastor. After graduating, the church hired him full-time and he lived and served in Hillsboro as their youth pastor for eleven years.
Rem and Laura, along with their 5 children (Gavin, Owen, Ellie, Asher, and Hadley) moved to Lakin in 2021 to follow God’s calling to plant a church in Lakin. Rem helps coach Lakin High Schools cross country and track teams.
The community at Grace Lakin is incredibly excited to have Rem and his family as part of our church. What a blessing to gain Rem as a servant leader to this congregation and to this community!

The Parable of the Aspen Grove
Then Jesus continued, “What can we say the kingdom of God is like? How shall we put it in a parable? It is like a tiny grain of mustard-seed which, when it is sown, is smaller than any seed that is ever sown. But after it is sown in the earth, it grows up and becomes bigger than any other plant. It shoots out great branches so that birds can come and nest in its shelter.”
Mark 4:30-32
