Come join us for this great opportunity to serve the chronically ill at one of our favorite local ministries!
We love The Ballard House and how their ministry takes such good care of families who have a father, mother, son, daughter or other family member facing critical, life-threatening health conditions. They are so good at weaving God’s love, mercy and grace into everything they do there!!!
Our teams will help with painting, landscaping, cleaning and making encouragement and blessing cards for current and future residents. This is an awesome family friendly serving opportunity!
This is a great way to serve with other Grace Fellowship members while providing tangible acts of love to our neighbors in need. We would love for these struggling families to see God’s hands at work!

KCM Veterans Appreciation Picnic
Saturday, May 3, 11-2pm
Grace Fellowship Porch
If you or a family member are a veteran, PLEASE COME and be our special and honored guests! Sign up here for this special event.
Grace Fellowship is thrilled to announce we are hosting the upcoming 3rd Annual KCM Veterans Appreciation Picnic! We will recognize and celebrate the brave men and women who made sacrifices for our nation in their service to our country.
Veterans exemplify the scripture found in Philippians 2:3-4 as they set aside personal ambitions and desires for the greater good, valuing the safety and freedom of our nation and our citizens above their own.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others”.
YOU ARE INVITED to join us in serving and honoring our local veterans on this special day. Volunteer opportunities include assisting with setup and decorations, helping with food preparation and service, coordinating activities and games, and more.
Your time and support will make a meaningful difference in ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience for our honored guests.
Thank you in advance for supporting our veterans! Your dedication and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated!

Orality Training: An Introduction to Contextual Bible Storying
Saturday, June 21st, 8:30-4:30pm
Grace Fellowship Campus, Kids Ministry Building, Room 201
Please join us for this one-day workshop, hosted by Living Water, offering practical and proven principles in making disciples of oral preference learners. Discover why church and mission leaders today are saying the Orality Movement is transformational in church history and one of the most significant developments in advancing the Kingdom in the past 500 years.
Orality is the fastest growing movement in evangelism today, and it is changing the face of missions around the world. The rapidly reproducing disciple-making and church planting movements are among oral cultures in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Increasing numbers of churches and ministries in North America are also realizing the importance and impact of orality-based methods in sharing our faith and making disciples, anywhere, with any people group.
Anyone interested in becoming more effective in sharing your faith, disciple making, church planting or mission outreach anywhere in the world will greatly benefit from gaining a working knowledge of relational narrative communication skills and orality strategies. Participants are telling how this training is bringing transformation to their lives and increasing their effectiveness in sharing their faith and disciple making efforts.
