ADULT MINISTRIES

One thing we are certain of at Grace... life is better together! We love doing life together! We know that we were created... not only to be in relationship with Christ... but also in community with other faithful followers! We all bring different things with us. Some bring joy and laughter and they brighten up the room! Others come in hurting and broken, and we surround them with love and walk with them through whatever it is they are going through. Today, take a moment and think about where you are right now. We would love the opportunity to meet you and to do life with you. Let's get together!

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them."

Matthew 18:20

Women's Ministry

Women are emotional, relational, active, and overwhelmed.  A woman’s life can be difficult BUT God (Romans 5:8). I have been working with the women of Grace for over 20 years. Our heart’s desire at Grace is to be unifying, teachable, encouraging, friendly, loving, and full of Grace. We strive to include and draw in women to teach them how to strengthen their relationship with the Lord so that the relationships they are a part of can be strengthened and grown with Christ as the center. We want to equip women with exactly what they need to be successful, controlled and defined by the One who made them “for such a time as this.” (Esther 4:14) Come be a part of God’s chosen “for such a time as this!”

"God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns."

Psalm 46:5

Men's Ministry

Men of God is our aim. This life is difficult, but when we have brothers fighting and battling along side it seems more bearable.  Men who are honest, real, servant-hearted, willing and continually seeking after God is what we are building at Grace. Many times, the path we have walk has been difficult because of situations beyond our control, choices that led to consequences, or just lack of discipleship and/or discipline. We spend time sharing, fellowshipping and praying for ourselves, our families, our brothers and sisters at Grace, our neighbors, and those in Joplin and beyond. We are building relationships and “spurring one another on toward love and good deeds”. Come and be a part of “encouraging one another … as you see the Day approaching.”

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."

1 Corinthians 16:13

Senior Adult Ministry

Our Senior Adult Ministry seeks to build on biblical community while training and equipping our seniors to share the gospel to their family, friends, and neighbors. Many of our seniors are serving in various ministries of our church. We enjoy regular time together studying the Word and building relationships. No matter if we are together singing, enjoying a lunch out, having a movie day, or planning and hosting a Back-to-School carnival for the kids, we definitely enjoy spending time together.  We invite any Senior Adult to come and spend time with us, grow with us and share in this ministry.

"I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned or his children begging for bread."

Psalm 37:25
