Local
The Mercy & Justice Team focuses on Grace Church’s local and stateside missions. They oversee and manage the Seasons of Compassion, and work alongside different ministries and organizations to help those in need.
Seasons of Compassion
Spring
Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center: Baby Bottle Boomerang
Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center supports and guides women and their loved ones facing unplanned pregnancy “toward life-enhancing choices.” We collect funds (digitally and within physical baby bottles) to support the life-sustaining resources and support of Lighthouse.
Summer
Star of Hope Ministries (SOHM): Project Backpack
SOHM partners with churches and organizations in NJ to “serve the underserved.” During their annual Project Backpack, we donate funds towards the distribution of 2,000 backpacks.
Fall
Star of Hope Ministries (SOHM): Box of Love
Through SOHM’s Box of Love campaign, Grace Church collects boxes filled with Thanksgiving food items, and gives additional funds towards the distribution of the Boxes of love. SOHM’s partner churches then give the complete meals to people in need in the city of Paterson.
Winter
Mendenhall Ministries: Christmas Gifts
Mendenhall Ministries seeks to instill hope within the hearts of the children and families struggling in Mendenhall, Mississippi. We send Christmas gifts to the elementary students attending Genesis One Christian School of Mendenhall Ministries.
CASA-Kids: Wish Tree
We also set up a CASA-Kids Wish Tree to collect gifts for CASA-kids; CASA stands for Court-Appointed Special Advocates and is made up of volunteers who seek the best-interests of foster children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
