Historic narrative:
Organized in 1866 as the East Williamson Free Methodist Church, the congregation built a frame church in 1877 when they had gathered enough money. As the church grew, many additions were made. A fire in 2013 destroyed the sanctuary. Repairs were made and a new sanctuary was built. In 2017 the name changed to Grace Ridge Church.
