Missions
At Grace, we believe that sharing our
resources with those who have little or none is part of being a member of the
body of Christ. We faithfully attempt to make sure each and every donation is
carefully followed up and used as it was intended. Each request is prayerfully
considered and responded to appropriately.
Grace supports missions in three major
ways:
- Finances: Each week the
congregation is encouraged to give above and beyond their regular tithe toward
the needs of a particular mission outreach.
- Prayer: Our missions initiatives
are regularly lifted up in prayer by the members of our congregation, both on
an individual and corporate level.
- Physical Assistance: Adults,
youth and children are encouraged to participate in annual mission trips, both
locally and internationally, to share in their brain work and back work on
site.

We believe that the Word
strongly encourages the church to support the poor and needy. It is for this
reason that each 3rd Sunday, we set aside a special time in our service to

privileged to support on a regular basis. |
