Local Outreach
At Grace Church, we believe the church was called by God to minister to those in need, not only around the globe, but also right in our own backyard. Throughout the year Grace supports various organizations in our community which creates opportunities for you to get involved. Here are some local organizations that Grace partners with in ministering to the Kansas City community:
Hope Faith
Hope Faith Family Serve Day. Second Saturdays of every month. Hope Faith Ministries is a faith-based ministry that serves the needs of the homeless and less fortunate in Kansas City. Come see for yourself how we are ministering to those in our own backyard. Please observe the dress code of sleeved shirts (no tank tops), pants and closed toed shoes. Ages 5 and up welcome to participate. Meet at Grace at 8:15 to caravan down. Second Saturdays, 9am-2pm.

Freedom Fire
Freedom Fire Urban Ministries is a Christian missions organization with offices located in the heart of the community at 13th and Brooklyn, dedicated to strengthening the young people of the inner city by equipping them to guide the community spiritually, economically, and socially. www.freedomfire.org
F4 (Freedom Fire Fun Fridays)

Either meet directly at Freedom Fire (2111 East 13th Street, KCMO) or carpool from the 888 Asian Market located on the northwest corner of 119th St and Hwy 69 promptly at 5:45pm. Have fun playing with kids, helping serve food, and minister the love of Jesus!
