MINISTRIES & SERVICE
Grace Lutheran Church has core ministries to serve our community and neighbors, including Manna Monday, Backpack Ministry and Community Vacation Bible School. Grace Lutheran also serves our village through meals, fellowship circles, visitations and mission work.
Our mission work supports internationally placed missionaries, regional missional congregations, and the NALC's mission driven activities in the wider denomination to support making disciples in our congregations, communities, nations and around the world.
