What does the Outreach Team do?
At Grace, our vision is to Transform the Space Coast with the radical love of Jesus! One way we do this is through community outreach. We have an outreach team that partners with ministries in our county to WEAR LOVE OUT by serving in any way needed. We work with the ministries to arrange service projects for serve day, provide gifts for the Giving Trees during Christmas and many events in between. We have multiple SERVE days and projects that you can be a part of! Additionally, any donations that are needed for any event will be on this page so keep an eye out! If you would like to be part of the Outreach Team, you can join by clicking this link.
What organizations are we partnered with?
There are several organizations that we are partnered with and you can see them below. We have liaisons on the team that work directly with these organizations to setup projects for serve day, arrange gifts for the Giving Tree during Christmas and assist in other opportunities throughout the year! We are expanding this list and have room for you to become a liaison! The more people we have, the more we can do.
What opportunities are there to serve?
