Ministry Opportunities

“To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” – 1 Corinthians 12:7

God has given spiritual gifts to every believer for the building up of the body of Christ. We rejoice therefore when a new member or interested visitor asks, “How can I serve?” The whole body is called to serve. The following list is just a sample of the various ministries available in which those qualified and gifted (depending on the ministry) may serve. Some are official Grace Church ministries; others are ministries of individuals within the body. Some require special skills or abilities. Church membership is a requirement for many, but not all. Our desire is to help each member find an avenue of service for which God has gifted him or her:
