Our goal at Grace is to "Make Him Known". Grace is a missions minded church with involvement in all aspects of missions. As believers we are called to share the love of Jesus and the gospel locally in our community, in our country, and around the world.
One of the most important areas of missions that we are involved with is our state and local missions. Through opportunities like, Vacation Bible School, our H.O.P.E Closet, high school sporting events, disaster relief projects, and other local projects, we have been able to be the hands and feet of Jesus and share his love with people in our community.
Through numerous organizations we have had the opportunity to travel to across the United States to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus. We've participated in projects in several states including South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska. We've helped build churches, provide disaster relief and medical care, as well as, participate in other community outreach events.
Grace is partnered with several international mission organizations that provide opportunities for us to travel internationally to spread the love of Jesus. Our main international partner is Monte de Horeb Ministries located in Honduras. Starting in 2025, we are also partnering with Operation Christmas Child, through Samaritan's Purse, to be a drop-off location for thousands of shoeboxes that will be delivered to kids across the world.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20
Over the next year we have several opportunities to serve our locally community, our country, and the world. We are excited about what God is going to do through our church in 2026 and 2027.

Our H.O.P.E. Closets was started back in 2019 to help serve the people in our community who may need assistance providing food and other household essentials for their families. The H.O.P.E Closet is opened once a month and we serve approximately 30 families every month. Contact us for more information about the H.O.P.E Closet or ways you can donate.
In November 2026, our church will partner with Samaritan’s Purse for a disaster relief mission trip to Buncombe County, North Carolina. Our team will serve families and communities still recovering from hurricane Helene.
This November, our church will partner with Operation Christmas Child in several ways. We will serve as a local shoebox drop-off location, collect shoeboxes packed by our church family, and send a team to volunteer at the OCC Shoebox Processing Center in Charlotte. Through each opportunity, we are excited to help share the love of Christ and the hope of the Gospel with children around the world.

Next year the Students of Grace will be going to North Greenville University in Greenville, SC for FUGE Camps. The date for next year's trip is June 21-26. One of the great things about this camp is, in addition to daily recreational activities, the students will also participate in mission projects throughout the city of Greenville.
