MINISTRIES
Graceland Kids
Angel Asher
Children’s Ministry Director
Children’s ministry is not merely glorified baby-sitting for Jesus. Our children are learning the Word and growing spiritually in every story, game, and children’s church outing they attend. We believe that children grow spiritually through serious response to the sharing of God’s Word. We also believe that children learn by having FUN!! It is important to us to to encourage our kids in their relationship with God as well as their relationship with each other. Children need good Christian friends to help encourage them in their Christian walk. To help those relationships grow we plan lots of fun outings outside of church for our kids.Our mission is to encourage children to love and worship God, love others as God has commanded u, and grow to be bold men and women for God.

Care Ministry
The Care Ministry’s purpose is to reach people by showing God’s love through a ministry of caring, sharing, and serving. The Care Ministry sends cards to shut-ins and to those who cannot get out due to illness. The Care Ministry also runs a year-round food pantry that provides food to those in need. During the holidays, the Care Ministry prepares food baskets for hundreds of people in need. They also adopt families for Christmas and provide gifts for many children.

Missions & Outreach
Our Missions & Outreach ministry exists to fulfill the Great Commission both locally and globally. We do this by preaching the Gospel, developing leaders, and planting churches. We believe that a healthy church is missions-minded and has a heart to see the Gospel preached not only to the four corners of the earth, but to the near corners of our neighborhood. We urge you to join us in the practical working out of Jesus’ command to love God and love people.
