Local Missions hope to share the love and truth of Jesus with people outside the walls of Grace Bible Church.

Grace helps people grow as disciples in three main ways: Equipping, Engaging, and Exalting. The primary purpose of local missions is to engage. We do this by volunteering in our neighborhood and nearby communities where our people meet tangible needs. We hope to love others in such a way that people ask, “Why?” leading to the opportunity to share Jesus.

If you have any questions or wish to engage in any of these ministries, please contact T.S. Weaver, Engage Pastor/Missions and Men.

Fearless Love Ministries

Every other Saturday, volunteers gather to distribute food to Muslim refugee families. This is the best time to establish relationships with families, as volunteers generally spend time in their homes getting to know them and sharing daily gospel stories with them.

If you’re a bit nervous about sharing your faith, that’s ok. Come serve food to these families, and Fearless Love will help you learn how to share.
