About Us

Amazing Grace at Logan Place NFP was birthed in 2014. At this time, two other founders and I, Shaunalyn Boad, were sharing our homes with young women who wanted to further their Christian journey. As our love for these young women grew, so did our mission. Soon, we were mentoring young women, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them, cooking, doing community projects, gardening, and hosting Bible studies.

From this group of women came the birth of the ministry. We all had the same goal – to be there for young women -- but our mission was out-growing our homes. God recognized our need and opened a way for us to purchase the mansion at 7 Logan Place in Edwardsville, Illinois to make a permanent place to gather.

After much prayer for God’s guidance, we decided “the Mansion” would be the ideal venue to launch the ministry. By working together, we are making this house into a safe place for all young women to have a refuge for mentoring and the development of skills and training. They could grow into the purposes for which they were created to be and become an essential part of our community.

However, not only is the mission of this ministry the nurturing and development of these women, but primarily to allow them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

As you can see from the pictures we work together at Logan Place and serve others throughout the community. The young women enjoy learning to do new things and working together to make a difference, alongside the adults who volunteer their time. We are also growing in our relationships with each other because we are invested completely in helping each other succeed. Whether we are struggling with something new or not, we need each other, and our desire is to be here for the good, and the bad times that come our way.

This generation has been labeled as the loneliest generation of all times. We, at Amazing Grace at Logan Place NFP, are working to change this -- one woman at a time.

You are touched by this ministry!

This is a place where young ladies can find hope. It is a place where they can bring the weight of their world, and leave with the God-esteem and God-confidence, He has intended for them through His Son, His Word and our ministry that is seeking God’s best for them. All young ladies are welcome, met by volunteer professional women who have an open ear to their struggles and pain. They will all be part of an on-going mentoring program teaching life skills in the home, professional life, and in relationships. This ministry exists to inspire and serve them with love, encouragement, and integrity.

Everyone has been impacted by some young woman who has had one or more of these trials in her life. Life is not fair so there needs to be an outreach to these young women to help make a change for their future and for the future of our world. Their trials will either impact us all for the better or for the worse. We must help make this difference, so their lives will touch even more young people through what they endured and survived.

We, as both church and community, must vow to adopt this mission as part of our lives from this point forward. If not, who are we really when we say we are disciples for Christ? Are we spreading HIS Word to the world? Answer truthfully, because that is where the difference will be made.

We are here to foster a relationship with Jesus, through mentoring and guiding you to your true identity in life.
