Truth, Relationship and Transformation


You are someone who God created uniquely and beautifully. His greatest joy is for you to experience life as He has lovingly crafted it in Jesus.  Along the way, all of us discover gaps between Scriptural truths we sincerely believe and our every day experiences in Jesus. These are our Grace Spaces!


Often, those gaps feel like failure. We hear other people’s stories of transformation, try to do it like they did and then wonder why it didn’t work that way for us.


That’s because one size doesn’t fit all in the process of maturity!


Grace Spaces honors that each of us process and express life as a New Creation in Christ in many different and wonderful ways. We want to discover yours!


With Lead Coach Allison Bown, you can become part of a Group Coaching Team of 12 or less women.  Together, we’ll discover how God created you uniquely to experience life in Jesus, the strengths He’s given you and His perspective for your vulnerabilities.


When a Grace Space appears in your life, You’ll know how to navigate it with confidence, peace and joy!

What’s a grace space?

In our process of spiritual maturity, there are spaces between beloved truths we’ve heard and what we have yet to experience in our daily life.

These are our Grace Spaces:

Shame-free encounters with God’s empowering presence when you need it most.

Growing Confidence in who He really is and who He created you to really be.

Restored Joy that brings peace, hope and resilience no matter what is occurring.

WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO GO IT ALONE…

During His ministry years, Jesus gathered a small group that became His friends, not just to teach them but give them opportunities to practice what they were learning. Authentic relationship with Him and each other was an essential part of their development.

That’s why our Group Coaching Teams have a maximum of 12 members. We want to get to know each other!

And why we offer additional Active Team Member and Veteran Calls where you join Allison and others in the Grace Space community to share, pray and continue to build relational connections.

Together, we see more and become more.

OUR STORIES

Maybe there’s an adventure ahead for us, but first, let’s meet.

Hi, I’m Allison Bown, and I’m truly glad you’re here.

In my life, I’ve had awesome teaching, great mentors and powerful life experiences, but two things that converted truth to transformation were:

1) Relational conversations in small groups where we got to know each other and talked through our questions together.

2) Spirit-led, professionally trained Christian coaches who didn’t add more teaching, but asked powerful questions that connected me to what God had already deposited and helped me discover a new way forward!

So, after 30 years as an educator, author, itinerant minister and pioneer of spiritual learning communities, I’m delighted to add being an ICF* trained Christian Professional Life Coach (CPLC).

Ever the explorer, I can’t help wonder with Jesus, “What’s possible now?”

(BTW - Being a Group Coach is my offering to the Lord… which means, I don’t personally profit from Grace Spaces Group Coaching.)
