Finding Your Place to Contribute
At Grace, we want to be a place that cultivates growth and fulfillment. One of the crucial ways we do this is through our service to others. As we serve, we learn about our spiritual gifts, personal style and passions. We find a place where we can contribute and thrive in the ministries of Grace Church without simply being plugged into a slot.
What Opportunities are Available?
Grace Church has many areas of ministry that are made up of volunteer teams. Request more information for one of the teams below and someone will get back to you about your next step.
Children's Ministry
Children's Worship
During the service, children ages 4 years through 3rd grade attend Children's Worship to prepare them for worship in the adult services. Children's Worship focuses on theological understanding, worship, and offers opportunities for children of different ages to be in community together.

Grace Life
Grace Life is a ministry that seeks to spur us on toward deeper community. Through a variety of events, Grace Life creates opportunities which bring people together and engage them in the life of the church. Our vision for these gatherings is to create and foster relationships that encourage people to use their individual gifts to support one another, as well as the church as a whole.
Event Planning
Helping the people of Grace Church to connect with each other, form relationships, and build community through planning church-wide social events.
Meals Ministry
When life takes an unexpected turn or becomes very stressful a meal from a friend is very encouraging. This ministry is designed to help people during times of stress such as the birth of a child, a family member in the hospital, a death in the family and other life crises.
You don't have to know how to cook in order to volunteer. You just have to be willing to prepare or purchase a portable, healthy meal and take it to a family in need. This is a wonderfully simple, heartfelt, and necessary ministry.
GraceCares
All too often we feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of our communities painful problems. We hear about troubles and continue to walk by our neighbors in need. Although we care, we may not know how to best serve the needs of our community. Through GraceCares, we seek to meet the needs with compassion, wisdom, and commitment. Whether it is through praying with inmates in County Jail, delivering care packages to the poor, or visiting the elderly, GraceCares continues to prioritize building relationships of healing through faithful service.
