We want to send encouragement cards, blessing boxes, and prayer for our families who are serving. This will be an ongoing event the Love God, Love People Outreach Group will take care of.
We serve those who serve. Let us know how we can support you while you're serving at home or afar.
Join us every third Saturday of the month for our monthly Pier & Beach Outreach. We will meet at Grace to prepare sack lunches and then deliver them to those in need down by the Oceanside Pier.

We're partnering with the Lion's Club to give the gift of sight to those who need eyeglasses in our community. Bring in the old glasses you don't wear anymore and they'll be refurbished for someone in need! Turn them into the Grace Church Office any time!
The Lion's club holds a vision screening for those in the community who are unable to afford to go to the doctor and then refurbishes the donated glasses for those who are seen at the screening. They serve 150-300 people per screening!
Children of the Nations is a Christian nonprofit organization that exists to provide care for orphaned and destitute children in poverty-stricken areas of the world. We are partnering with this organization by hosting SmilePack drives to meet some of the tangible needs of these children.
If you are interested in supporting this amazing ministry, stop by the Outreach table in the lobby any Sunday from February 13, 2022 to February 27, 2022 to pick up a packing list and bag. Return the bag and requested items to Grace on or before February 27, 2022. Thank you for helping to supply the needs of these precious children!
