Benevolence Ministry
Benevolence  was created primarily to consider the needs of members of the church. The Committee also works with regular attendees and other special projects in the local area. Ordinarily, the stronger one's association with the church, the stronger the benevolence ministry commitment to see that a particular primary need is met.recognizing that God is the provider of all that we need and handling God's resources within Grace and the community to ensure that the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing are met for each Grace Church member.  In order to receive benevolence, we need a completed application and a private appointment with you to begin the process.

Hands and Feet Practical Care
Jesus cares for and ministers to each of us personally and tangibly, just as He did while physically on earth. Many times He does this through His followers. The Hands and Feet Teams, geared for specific purposes, help provide His personal and tangible care through temporary practical assistance for individuals and families experiencing difficult circumstances.

Meal Team
Accidents happen, people move, babies are born, sickness strikes. All of these events make day to day living tough. Bringing a meal to someone is an opportunity for you to share Christ's love practically.

Serving a family during their loss of a loved one is a heartfelt privilege.  Help provide Jesus' love and comfort by serving as a helper during a funeral luncheon.
