Global Missions

Missions

At Grace Baptist Church, our mission is rooted in a simple yet profound biblical truth: "Making Christ known to our Neighbors and the Nations." We believe that sharing the Gospel starts right here in our neighborhoods, communities, and places of work. We are deeply committed to both local and international missions, embodying our dedication to spread the word of Christ far and wide.

Let us introduce you to some of the missionaries who are making this vision a reality...
