We exist to glorify God by Sharing Christ, Building Disciples and Ministering to Our Community & Our World
Our Community
AWANA: Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -2 Timothy 2:15 NKJV
Awana is our mid-week Bible learning time for kids 4 yrs thru 6th grade. Tom & Marti Chance are Awana missionaries in our area who provide support, encouragement and leadership to area clubs.
Converge PacWest: This is the regional arm of Converge Worldwide (Baptist General Conference). We support CPW efforts which includes church planting. Two specifics in our general area:
Joel & Leslie Smith in Redding, CA and Aaron & Sugar Roy in Richmond, CA.
Haven of Peace: A shelter for women & children that have lost their home, sometimes due to spousal abuse or addiction. The women are required to attend counseling and find work.
McKinley School: Thru donations by church attendees we provide some of what the school can no longer provide...paper, pencils, art supplies, snacks, etc. The teachers and kids have expressed their gratitude with cards and posters that they have made for us. Grace Church has been as blessed by giving as the kids have by receiving.
Pregnancy Resource Center: The PRC helps girls and women with unplanned pregnancies. They provide pregnancy verification, sonograms, counseling, referrals, maternity and baby clothing, as well as diapers, formula and other necessities. They have a drama team, "Respect", that performs in the schools and encourages abstinence.
