EVERYONE IS CALLED
One of the incredible truths of the Bible is that God chooses to work through ordinary people. He doesn’t limit ministry to the rock stars, but on the contrary, He asks and equips everyday people to take a hands-on approach to serve others, to share the good news, to comfort the hurting and to helping the poor.
At Grace, we place a premium on the people in our congregation. Our staff serve to equip you as the Church to do the work of the ministry. Thus we see lay men and women leading Bible studies and support groups, starting new ministries and doing whatever it takes to make the work of the church a success.
