The Outreach Ministry at Grace aspires to connect the people of Grace with the greater community by putting our faith into action and serving the needs of others — locally and around the world.
We strive to build meaningful and sustainable relationships working with ministry partners to feed, clothe, provide shelter, welcome immigrants, care for those in prison, and support families.
Service Sundays at Grace
In working toward the goal of achieving a hands-on and being-with relationship with our Ministry Partners and organizations in the community and beyond, we dedicate the fourth Sunday of each month after the 9:30 service to focus on one Ministry and provide assistance with donated items gathered and packaged by our parishioners. Notification of the Ministry selected and requests for donations each month are highlighted in the weekly online eNews and Sunday bulletin.
Grace Ministry Partners
Kitsap Immigration Assistance Center (KIAC)
KIAC’s mission statement is: “Recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of all people, KIAC works for the well-being and empowerment of immigrants through education, advocacy, and social justice.”
Currently, Grace is supporting KIAC’s dental program, which partners with Peninsula Community Health Services (PCHS). The Molar Roller mobile dental unit provides dental care to our immigrant neighbors on a bi-monthly basis. Low-cost preventative dental care and regular dental maintenance is not only provided but made accessible with the help of translators. KIAC offers legal services, family services, and more.
