Grace Church gives ten percent of its annual budget to ministries beyond its doors. The Benevolence Committee oversees the benevolence budget. Grace's Social Ministry Committee helps Grace members get involved in ministry opportunities.
To learn more about the projects and programs supported by Grace through benevolences and volunteerism and how you can get involved, download the 2010 edition of the Grace Lutheran Church Benevolence/Social Ministry Handbook.
