Opportunities to work together and enjoy one another's company

Service and fellowship go hand in hand at Grace. Friendships are formed as Christians work together and support one another. Grace members can be found volunteering at the local food pantry, getting together in “Supper Shuffles,” cooking in the church kitchen, teaching Sunday School, visiting shut-ins, discussing movies and literature, studying the Bible, or stuffing envelopes for a mailing. Join us!
See News and Events and the Calendar for information on specific events.
For more information about these groups, contact Grace.
