[{"text_idx": "#000006", "text": "With the divine grace of God, Grace Hmong Alliance Church (GHAC) was established in August of 1980. At its inception, GHAC consisted of 15 families who gathered for Sunday services in the basements of their respective homes on a weekly basis. As the church community began to flourish and expand, the leaders recognized the need for a larger space. In response, they secured a rental of a former Christian & Missionary Alliance church located at N. 60th St. & W. Congress St., providing a suitable environment to accommodate the growing numbers of worshippers at Grace."}]
