Grace Community Church Papers
Boulder City's Grace Community was founded in 1931 as an interdenominational church, and soon became one the new town's most important and enduring social and religious institutions. The Rev. Thomas E. "Parson Tom" Stevenson was the church's first pastor, and before the original church building was constructed in 1933, Parson Tom preached at the squatter's camp of Williamsville—also known as Ragtown—on the banks of the Colorado River, and in the Anderson Brothers Mess Hall in Boulder City. Grace Community still exists today [2001], although it is no longer interdenominational.
The material in MS 90 includes institutional , financial, and social records, as well as ephemera and supporting documentation for church programs from the 1930s through 2000, with an emphasis on the 1990s.
For more information, see "Grace Community Church" in" In the Beginning: A History of Boulder City, Nevada," by Dennis McBride [Boulder City, NV: Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum, 1992 (c. 1981)].
