Social Ministry at Grace

Grace Lutheran Church supports many local, national, and world-wide ministries and their services through prayer, volunteering, and with financial resources through the generous giving of our congregation. Our outreach into the community and wider church through our benevolence budget is overseen by the Social Concerns committee.
