See You January 15!

Get ready for GRaCE.i – a faith-based platform designed to humbly serve the church body. We've been working on this project for 10 months, building a space for virtual ministry, mentorship, and discipleship.

Executive Summary

GRaCE.i (Generative Reformed and Christian Education interface) is a faith-based pastoral care platform built to humbly serve the church body. Starting with virtual pastoral sessions and expanding into a full church community platform, GRaCE.i exists to extend fellowship beyond Sunday mornings while always encouraging in-person church attendance and participation.

What We're Building:

• Phase 1 (Now): Virtual pastoral care sessions with real human pastoral agents.
• Phase 2 (March 2026): Complete church community platform connecting members, organizing events, supporting local congregations.
• Phase 3 (Summer 2026): AI-assisted pastoral support with zero-AI-generation scriptural fidelity system (local inference only).

How We're Building:

We are dedicated to building with humble service, leveraging our self-hosted infrastructure to ensure ownership rather than renting cloud services. Our AI approach focuses on local inference, providing light assistance as a segue to real pastoral agents, with a strong emphasis on scriptural fidelity. Our team of four founders, former addicts now serving Jesus, are committed to this ministry.

Growth Strategy:

We are focused on expanding our individual subscriber base for virtual sessions and building church partnerships, with demos and pre-signups starting February 2026. Our marketing relies on a social media presence and word-of-mouth through dedicated encouragers.

Platform Overview

Mission Statement

GRaCE.i exists to humbly serve the church body by providing accessible pastoral care and creating a social network that extends Christian fellowship beyond in-person gatherings. We believe the local church is central to God's design, and our platform exists to support—never replace—in-person worship, fellowship, and service.

"Former Addicts. Now Addicted to Jesus."

Core Values

• Church-First: We prioritize in-person church attendance and participation above all digital engagement.
• Scriptural Fidelity: Zero AI-generated Scripture ensures 100% accuracy and reverence for God's Word.
• Humble Service: We exist to serve pastors, churches, and members—not to build an empire.
• Accessibility: Sliding scale pricing removes financial barriers to pastoral care.
• Ownership: Self-hosted infrastructure means we own (not rent) our platform, keeping costs low long-term.
• Local Church Support: A portion of church subscription revenue is allocated geographically to strengthen local congregations.

The Team: Founders & Vision

JGi (Co-Founder & Owner; Tech-Guru, and PCA)

Background: Former substance abuse, radical conversion experience, self-taught developer with expertise in modern web technologies and passion for making technology serve the Gospel.

Vision: In Agreement: "I was lost, broken, and hopeless. Jesus found me and gave me purpose. Now I want to use technology to help others encounter that same hope. GRaCE.i is my offering to the Kingdom—a platform where hurting people can find healing, and churches can thrive. We aim to build humbly, we serve sacrificially, and we own our infrastructure so that every dollar saved can serve the ministry."

Rev. Chap (Our Lead Pastoral Care Agent)

Background: Ordained minister with 20+ years pastoral experience, former chaplain, MDiv Seminary Trained.

Vision: His thinking on GRaCE: "Every person deserves to have a pastor—someone who cares, listens, and points them to Jesus. But too many churches are under-resourced, and too many people are isolated. GRaCE.i bridges that gap. We're not replacing the local church; we're equipping it. We're a tool in the hands of faithful pastors."

BJ (Co-Founder & PCA)

Background: Living homeless for years, BJ found himself where no man should be, staring into the oblivion in his eyes in a California hostel, on the run from law enforcement, and without a place to call home. Until in those very moments he truly experience no love in life, only hardship, and when he MET CHRIST in the next few hours, after seeing his own face for the first time in years, because he was too ashamed to look, he got on his knees in repentence, and the Jesus who saves met him, and gave him overwhelming joy for the first time in his life, HE made Bj a new man that day. Ever since he has been called to minister to the saints, and faithfully serve, being called to ministry, he began seminary at Wilmington Bible Institute, leading studies for men in substance recovery, and aims to faithfully endure throughout his time here in humble service, He joined GRaCE as a co-founding member, offering wisdom and support from a life hard lived, always encouraging, and always looking up waiting, and watching for the return of the King.

Vision: Thoughts from the co-founder's life: "My life is in the hands of the nail-pierced Savior, and I aim to take as many people to heaven as I can, let's do this project, this is the last chance some people will get the chance to end the life they never chose to live, and live the life the would always want once they taste and see His goodness, and faithfulness in the land of the living."

GRaCE.i meets people where they are—digitally—and invites them into real, life-changing relationship with Christ and His local church. We're a discipleship and Body website, aiming to launch THE believers webpage destination, a network for those relational connections, a social community for the body of Christ."
