GRACE HAZELGROVE
CONNECTIONS PASTOR
Grace grew up right outside of Richmond and went to VCU to study fashion design in 2009. She always had a dream of moving to NYC to be a big time designer, little did she know God had better and different plans. After moving to NYC in 2013 she worked in fashion for 2 years and helped plant a church in the city then came on staff there in 2015. After 8 years of full-time ministry she went global (cue the 1999 film Passport to Paris) and spent a year in Paris planting a church. She fully embraced the Parisian lifestyle of croissants, baguettes and cheese but if you ask her to speak French she actually can’t…voilà!
She moved back to Richmond in 2023 and has loved being back in the city near family and longtime friends. She is passionate about building community, helping people find their fit and creating special moments.
