Our very active ACTS 1:8 team keeps our outreach vision alive and well. Grace Church currently supports 28 missionaries, based in 18 different nations, across the globe. Each year members of Grace make a “missions Faith Giving” commitment to support both our local outreaches/ministries as well as our cross-cultural missions efforts. For the year 2005, the members of Grace have committed over $220,000 to support these workers.
Additionally, short-term ministry teams have served in Turkey, Jamaica, Japan, Montana among the Crow Indians, & inner-city Minneapolis. Numerous individuals have been supported in prayer and giving on their short-term missions and service projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. We are also seeing an increased emphasis placed on reaching the un-churched in our own community.
Grace Church continues to grow as a faith community, both vibrant and balanced in our emphases on Worship, Instruction, Fellowship, Expansion, and Service, both locally and globally.
Grace has sent short-term workers to Honduras, Ecuador, and New York City. A team recently went to do service projects and outreach in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and inner-city Minneapolis.
