One body. One purpose. One message. One person. Jesus!
Grace Community Church seeks to serve God by living out the Gospel message here and around the world. God calls all of us to have a role in, and be a part of, global and local missions. We daily participate in His bigger story: in God’s plan to bring redemption to all peoples through Jesus.
Our team works to involve and connect the church body with local, national, and foreign partners. We look for new and exciting ways to reach out and serve our community. Partners that are supported by Grace are featured in the back of the sanctuary in our Global Cafe. There you can see pictures, watch videos, and read information on their ministry and how they are furthering the work of the Kingdom. Each month we feature one partner to keep the church informed of what God is doing around the world.
4 Ways to Be Involved in Missions at Grace:
Pray
Be a part of praying for our partners. You can sign up to receive monthly emails with updated requests as they are received from the partners we have on the field. Email Susy (Add link) to be added to the email list!
Love
Be a part of encouraging our partners with cards, emails, and care packages. Join with us in various outreach opportunities in our own community, such as Old Savannah Mission, Child Evangelism Fellowship, and Bluffton Self-Help. We also show love to various groups on the island such as firemen, policemen, hospice workers, and local schools. In addition, there are opportunities to serve at one time events throughout the year, such as Easter Egg Hunt, Pack a Backpack, Trunk or Treat and more! We are always looking for ways to show the love of Jesus to our neighbors here in Hilton Head and Bluffton.
Go
Be a part of a short-term mission team! Each year we plan several opportunities to go and serve on a team. Some of them are work teams, some outreach teams, and some just encouragement teams. We have taken trips to Kenya, Croatia, Myanmar, Peru, Haiti, a Navajo reservation, and locations around the world.
Send
Be a part of giving to support our partners. We currently send support to 19 partners around the world in India, Kenya, South Sudan, Jordan, Cambodia, Haiti, Sierra Leone, and Thailand, as well as here in the United States serving at college campuses and in the home offices of mission organizations. We support chaplains in the Middle East that serve in prisons with Good News Jail and Prison Ministry. Our partners serve with various organizations, such as Pioneers, CRU, Wycliffe, Operation Mobilization, Harvesters International, and more!
