Facilitating discipleship is what they hope to do by producing content that makes Jesus known and helps Christians grow. One of the books is Merci La Bible (Thanks to the Bible), an evangelistic book that shows how the Bible has influenced European culture as well as contemporary European lives. At Christmas time, they provide C'est l'histoire de Noel (It’s a Christmas Story) booklets.

Water night & Baptisms @ Mingo

Are you still looking for your ministry calling? We would love to have you check out Grace Kids and join our team! We are in need of some people that love our little ones and want to be involved in sharing Jesus with them. There are openings currently in Sunday school classrooms and on Wednesday evenings for J.A.M. & Jr. J.A.M. Our ministries are entirely run by volunteers like you and can’t happen without YOU! Please mark the tear-off on the half sheet if you’re interested.

A lot is happening for our Grace Students in July! Our big group student gathering will be on July 9th from 7-10pm. We will be having a cookout @ 209 Hillside Dr.! There will be volleyball, basketball, cornhole, a possible speaker, and a fire available for roasting hot dogs. All of our students are invited and encouraged to bring along any friends that are interested in attending. Also, July 18th-23rd is Momentum Youth Conference 2017! The theme for Momentum this year is The Comeback! Our culture today is full of distractions and temptations. All of us have fallen short and can become exhausted from striving to be “good” and earning approval from parents, peers, and ultimately Christ. But, God offers us grace and extends us an invitation to simply come to Him, no matter if it’s the first time or the seven-hundreth time. Please keep our students in prayer as they go to Momentum July 18th-23rd!
