Outreach Tools

As followers of Jesus, we are each commissioned to get involved in someone else’s life, meet their needs, and help them grow in their relationship with Christ. Jesus doesn’t ask us to just be nice to our neighbors but to sacrifice, to love others who are nothing like us, to enter into others’ brokenness, and to inconvenience ourselves for the sake of the gospel. This is our common calling.

We know it can be challenging to determine where to get involved, so we have created several resources to help you.

Outreach Tools

Foster & Adopt

Grace Church is committed to following the biblical mandate to care for vulnerable children by engaging the needs of foster care and adoptive families. We support the foster and adopt community across the Upstate through foster family recruitment, training, support, and various other resources. We are committed to walking with foster families as they enter the system and bring a child home and as he or she grows and matures.

Ministry Partners

As part of Grace’s two-year We Choose ministry plan, we are partnering with organizations in our community that serve vulnerable populations and have a proven track record of success. Our partnership with each organization includes a two year commitment of substantial financial support to help the organization build capacity, as well as opportunities for our church members to volunteer and serve in ways that grow them as disciples of Jesus.

JumpStart’s ministry focuses on long-term discipleship of men and women currently in prison and those recently released. The discipleship program is led by program graduates inside prisons and is supplemented by volunteers. Program graduates are eligible for JumpStart’s re-entry program and transitional housing during their first year of release. The work JumpStart is doing is helping reduce the rate of recidivism in South Carolina.
