Missions

The Gospel is the single most important message affecting humanity. It needs to be shared with a lost and dying world. Following Christ in His mission is inviting others to join in our rescue.

Know and Go. We desire to be a church that makes disciples who make disciples. To this end, we strive to know Christ intimately and deeply. Wherever we go (including where we live and work), we witness and take every available opportunity to share and teach all that Christ commanded us. Within the body, we use our small groups and classes to deepen our understanding of Christ and His Word. Our mission team looks for and provides various opportunities locally and abroad to go and share the gospel.

Grace Place

Our goal is to promote self-sufficiency by providing a safe and secure environment giving individuals the opportunity to overcome unresolved issues. Through education, individuals are encouraged to be responsible for themselves and others. We provide the skills to make appropriate choices for a healthy value system creating strong families and safe communities. Upon departing from our programs we want to ensure all clients are permanently housed and have a relapse prevention plan in place. By offering educational opportunities and access to all community assistance programs, we provide the tools for continued success.

International Missions

Converge - Birmingham

Will & Katye

Birthplace of C.S. Lewis, C.H. Spurgeon, Charles and John Wesley, and known for it's contributions to the global church, the UK is now facing a steady decline in Christianity. Congregations dwindle to the point of no longer being able to afford their buildings and churches are being converted into pubs and climbing gyms.

Religion is viewed with skepticism and most Britons don’t see a value for Christianity in their lives. As Christianity dwindles, we also see Islam and athiesm steadily on the rise.

Amidst this discouraging backdrop, Will and Katye are excited to be part of what God is doing in England! God has led them to return to Birmingham to strengthen and equip believers for the work that lies ahead. They believe God has uniquely gifted them for the discipleship opportunity at Grace Church Stirchley.
