Our job as staff is to model and equip our people for ministry rather than doing ministry for them. Our goal for all our members and attendees is to help them identify God’s unique callings on their lives and provide them with the equipping and resources to influence others where they live, learn, work, and play by leveraging their spiritual gifts. We also must prioritize the development of people fit for key roles (starting with teachers and worship leaders) to keep up with expanding campuses and stages.

As our people make disciples and call them to multiply their lives into others as well, we want to provide a clear pathway for people to be developed as leaders as they discover and grow their full array of God-given gifts to serve within Grace Bible and within our community. This includes character and competency development, acquisition of ministry skills, as well as how to develop as ministry leaders. As a result, we are creating a training program to identify potential leaders, equip them to lead well and empower them to multiply themselves into other leaders. We will be creating and developing more tools and resources in the coming months.
Our volunteers give in many ways, and we are so thankful for all these men, women, and kids who choose to serve Grace! The process to volunteer has some elements that are set for departments in order to allow volunteers to serve across different departments and even different campuses, to have meaningful discipleship and training elements, and to hold high standards for the protection of our volunteers and those they serve. To help reach this goal, each level of lay roles includes the appropriate level of application, interview, and background checks/child safety training where required. Departments are also able to tailor parts of their process to their needs, sharing their resources and winning with others as we continue to grow and refine this process.

Our work includes shepherding and caring for people who are hurting, in need, and struggling with challenges of many kinds. Grace Care Ministries has put together a Care Drive containing many helpful resources so please check that out. We especially want to highlight our Counseling Referral Process and Minister of the Day (MOD) Rotations and People In Need (PIN) Fund processes so that as a staff member, you know specific ways we can help people who have physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
