The Grand Island Mission project

This beautiful property located on Grand Island in the scenic Sacramento River Delta region has been waiting for years to be revived and renovated. The 8,400 square feet mission style building sits on 3 acres, surrounded by vineyards, orchards and farm land. The building consists of an auditorium with a stage and balcony, 4 large classrooms, a conference room and two offices.

From 1920-1967 it served as Beaver Union Elementary School, educating 1st-8th grade students until it was closed due to school district consolidations. For the next decade it was used as a personal family retreat, followed by years of neglect and disrepair.

In 1998, Patti Collins (known in the Delta as Patsy Sullivan), who is an alumni of the school, introduced Chris and Carol Davis to the property as a potential project to be pursued. For 14 years their non-profit, the Mission of Grace Foundation, tried to acquire the property to be used as a cause-based Christian conference & retreat center, but it wasn't until 2012 that it finally happened!
