Missions at Grace
After His resurrection, Jesus gave the church this very powerful command. It is commonly referred to as the Great Commission.
Missions are on the heart of God; therefore, it should remain on the forefront of ours. We take this command very seriously and strive to play our part in teaching the nations to observe all that Christ commanded.
Over the years we have formed several strategic ministry partnerships. That means that we felt God leading us to partner with these missionaries and ministries for maximum Kingdom impact. These partnerships include prayer, short-term mission trips, friendship, counseling, financial support, and much more. We believe that we can work together to strategically reach more people for Christ.
These are our current ministry partners:
