Missions is at the heart of Christianity because it is at the heart of God himself. A central theme of Scripture is that our God is a missionary. He is both “sent” and the one “sending out”. Jesus was sent from the culture of God’s kingdom and came to live among us. His plan is to make disciples who proclaim the Gospel and change lives.
At Grace our 20 missionary families and ministry partners are both local and global. They are involved in a variety of ministries including mercy ministries, planting churches and building up the local church, Bible translation, publishing Christian literature in the Global South, evangelizing on college campuses and in the athletic arena, working with the poor, and training foreign nationals in evangelizing.
We count it a privilege and honor to be able to support them financially and prayerfully. Through it all we pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified. We have a rich history of missions and are thankful for the men and women that are on the front lines of missions work today.

The Midland Park Children’s Love Fund provides financial assistance to children whose families are in need. You can give directly to their organization through the website here.
The Good Shepherd Mission is an all men’s organization in Paterson that strives to live their lives mirroring Jesus Christ as much as humanly possible, extending His love to all who will listen, in hopes that they may bring others to the saving grace of His Gospel. They have an urgent need to repair the walk-in refrigerator that is crucial to their ministry as they feed local men both breakfast and dinner every day. Any Grace Church gift that is designated to Season of Compassion through Friday, October 18th, will be matched dollar for dollar up to $3,000! That has been made possible by the CAST team, through the funds and ministry of Threads of Grace. Click the button below to give online via Pushpay by selecting “Season of Compassion” from the Giving Type dropdown menu.
