Missions
Our motto here at Grace Chapel is to love God and love people. What better demonstration of this than to share the Gospel with those who have never heard it? It is the conviction of our elder board that the bulk of our missions effort should be devoted toward the proclamation of the Gospel where Christ has not been named.
See below for more information about our missionaries. To learn how you can participate in long term or short term missions, please contact Pastor Brad Hayen.
