Grace Baptist Church Missions

Grace Baptist Church is a mission minded church and there are many opportunities for mission work which include these opportunities

 

Feed the Hungry:

Grace Baptist Church is honored to be a location for the Elkhorn Baptist Association's “Feed the Hungry/Hot Meal Ministries”:  Every Monday afternoon from 2:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. we serve a hot meal to those in need.  If a holiday falls on that Monday then we are not open.  On Thursday afternoons from 4:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. we provide sack lunches for anyone in need.  Grace leads the way with volunteers preparing sandwiches, assembling the sacks with items, and then distributing the sacks to those in need.  Volunteers are always needed as well as food donations that can be distributed.  As needs arise or opportunities present themselves other items are distributed such as clothing, personal hygiene, literature, etc.  A special thanks to Bill and Mary Messer and their team of volunteers that help every week with this ministry.  Also a big thank you to Sandra Williams from the Elkhorn Office.

 

Winter Care:

Annual ministry.  The Winter Care Christmas Tree is set-up and is to be decorated with hats, scarves, gloves, mittens and socks.  Children and adult sizes are needed!  Items will be distributed to those in need during the winter and Christmas season.

 

Christmas Toy Drive:

 

Short term Missionary Service:

From the beginning of the congregation’s existence there has been an involvement in mission programs. In recent years the congregation has seen mission volunteers from our congregation serve for short periods in Kenya, Poland, and Russia.  We were honored when two members of our congregation, Daniel and Kristyn Wainright, were appointed to serve for two years as missionaries to France.  They are presently back in the States continuing their education.  Today the congregation emphasizes social ministry projects especially to some of the neighborhoods of North Lexington.
