Reach The World

The Bible says we should share the message of God’s great grace to those in our home town, across our country, and around the world. At Grace, we support dozens of missionaries serving in far off lands as well as others serving here in the United States. In addition to supporting these wonderful servants of God with our prayers and financial resources, we plan a number of overseas missions trips for all ages.

The most important thing to know is that YOU can be a part of this miraculous outreach. Here are just a few ways to connect in world wide missions:

  • Be a part of a short-term missions trip yourself!
  • Volunteer to help with events like the Global Impact Celebration.
  • Support our missionaries by giving above and beyond your tithe with funds earmarked for missions.
  • Encourage our missionaries with emails, personal notes, or even a video chat.
  • Spend time learning about our missionaries by scrolling through the different missionaries and organizations listed below, or by visiting the hallway near the front entrance.

If you have questions or would like to volunteer or support world missions, please fill out this form.

    Steve and Katie Ringelspaugh
    Beautiful Redemption

    We would like to introduce you to one of our newest supported global partners, Steve and Katie (son of Geri Ringelspaugh, who has been a faithful part of our Grace family for many, many years). Here is a description of their ministry straight from them: "At Beautiful Redemption, in the state of Colorado, we connect kids in crisis to a faith community that cares. We partner with dozens of child welfare agencies and nonprofit organizations that work with children in crisis situations. We support them by allowing them to input needs for their kids (beds, car seats, diapers, food, rent assistance, etc.)

    Those requests from the agency workers are sent out to all of our 65+ local partnering churches using an online platform called CarePortal. These faithful individuals see the requests in their own neighborhoods and click "Respond" to get in touch with the case workers and serve the families. We found there were so many amazing believers who wanted to help but didn't know how. We are the bridge that connects churches to the needs of the community. This gives them an incredible window of opportunity to serve families in need, pray for individuals, invite them to church, and love them the way Christ calls us to love the "least of these."

    James 1:27 talks about TRUE religion as serving the orphan and the widow in distress. That is what we aim to do. Many churches use this as a discipleship tool to activate their members in the community, as we know that discipleship is not based on how much we know, but how well we love. Other churches see it as part of their local mission objective to be a metaphorical "well" within their community. Everything we do is based on the activation of the local church. We want to see children served but it will all be for nothing if faith-filled believers are not at the heart of care."
