Currently a senior business systems analyst, Anthony Freddura leads and guides software development projects for MultiPlan, Inc., a major health care cost manager located in Waltham, Massachusetts. Prior to contracting with MultiPlan, he worked for several firms in the Boston area, including Iron Mountain, Fresenius Medical Care, and Fidelity Investments. When he is not attending to professional responsibilities, Anthony Freddura participates in several of the programs and ministries at Grace Chapel in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Like many American faith communities, Grace Chapel began in 1948 as a relatively informal weekly gathering of Christian believers, engaging in worship, prayer, and Bible study. They initially met in their homes, but soon needed to rent space to accommodate the growing congregation. The group incorporated in 1956 and has grown progressively ever since. Grace Chapel today serves a congregation or more than 4,000 at five locations in eastern Massachusetts, including Wilmington and Watertown, as well as three locations in Lexington. In addition to traditional Sunday morning worship services, Grace Chapel offers a broad range of services to its congregants and members of the community. Among these ministries are programs to help young people grow in their faith in the fellowship of their peers, as well as programs for adult men, women, and couples. Another program, the Mature Adults Program, offers those age 55 and older opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, sharing, and caring, as well as recreation. Grace Chapel also offers its members the opportunity to volunteer on short-term mission trips to other parts of the world, including Haiti, Moldova, Lebanon, and Malawi. Some of these trips focus on providing dental and medical services to underserved communities, and some concentrate on providing other kinds of services, such as working on construction projects for schools and orphanages. Participation in the missions is limited, but Grace Chapel also offers numerous service opportunities closer to home. All the missions and service projects give participants the opportunity for exceptional personal growth and a deeper understanding of the heart of Jesus.
