Our Story

The Park on 8th is going to be built in the community, for the community.

In 2019 Grace Church in Demotte, IN launched the year with great plans to build something for our community that no one else has. That included a few things like Night to Shine, Kids Hope USA, and then building an indoor play park that would be for the people in our community to come and enjoy.

Enter 2020, what seemed to halt the rest of the world halted us too. Over the last year, we have been busy getting final and new drawings and plans together to provide this park for the surrounding areas of Demotte.

Now we are ready to go. We couldn’t be more excited about what God is doing Beyond us and for our community! Check back for regular updates or follow along on social media.
