Jesus set the example for servant ministry.In his life and ministry he gave priority to the least, the last, the lost and the left out.We follow in his steps by serving the needs of people locally, nationally, and internationally.We believe and know from experience that the Holy Spirit equips us for service by giving us gifts for ministry and by giving us a passion for serving the needs of others.We encourage one another to invest our lives in ministries of compassion and justice, moving towards God’s vision of shalom (peace, wholeness, and loving kindness) for all creation.We pray that our service creates a ripple of grace that touches and transforms people’s lives throughout the world.
The Serving Ministry Team leads Grace United Methodist Church in serving our congregation, the local community and the world by finding and responding to people’s needs, including caring ministries of mercy, engaging people in active participation, and advocating ministries of justice.
Our vision: to lead the Grace UMC congregation in responding to Jesus’ words.
