WHAT’S IT LIKE TO LIVE IN BOULDER CITY:
Boulder City was built in 1931 by the Bureau of Reclamation to house workers for the construction of Boulder Dam. The only incorporated city in Nevada, it is a community without gaming and home of the State's number one tourist attraction, Hoover Dam. It is a wholesome, family-oriented community, with a significant retirement sector, that takes pride in its low crime rate and high-quality police and fire protection. It is situated between the entertainment and excitement of Las Vegas and Henderson and the recreation paradise of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, North America's largest man-made lake and home to the First Designated National Water Trail in the desert and Southwest.
FINANCES:
Grace Community Church is financially strong. It has no long-term debt and is sustained by tithes, gifts, contributions and revenues generated by The Country Store and other fundraising efforts, and its Foundation. These resources fund operations of Grace Community Church and its local, national and international missions.

Grace Community Church and Boulder City have intertwined histories. Boulder City began as a construction town for the workers and families of the workers who built Hoover Dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. Grace Community Church began as an inter-denominational Protestant religious work and was supported in April 1932 by members of the National Home Missions Council. American Baptist Church, Congregational Church, United Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), Methodist Episcopal Church, Disciples -United Christian Missionaries, and the United Brethren Church all supported the new Grace Community Church. The theme of the original organizing group was “Let there be one Protestant church cooperating, not a dozen competing.”
