About

Our Story

GraceCity, formerly The Grace Network, was founded in August 2011 by Chris & Melisa Stambaugh to holistically combat the issue of human trafficking in the Sacramento region. It’s been nothing short of a miracle to experience all that God has done since that time. GraceCity has mobilized thousands of leaders to leverage their influence and resources in helping hurting young people in the city of Sacramento.
