Transforming the world begins with each person taking a step.

How does Grace begin?

  • Connect

    It all begins with a need. Maybe you want to help the poor, the homeless, the homebound, the sick. Perhaps veterans, children, elderly.

  • Serve

    Take a step into serving those in need. If the ministry isn’t there, start one.

  • Grow

    We are all meant to transform ourselves first, then the world. Grow into the person God meant you to be.

Ministry and Mission

May mission offering

Gifts made to the May mission offering will help Native American ministries. United Methodists are called to recognize and honor the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society and church. The United Methodist Church acknowledges a gap in understanding Native American life and culture, while affirming the sacredness of Indigenous peoples, their languages, their unique identities and their contributions to the church and the world.

Contributions help develop and strengthen Native American ministries within each United Methodist annual conference and provide scholarships for Native Americans pursuing ordained or licensed ministry.

Food pantry

Grace is providing support of the food pantry at St. Mary of Creation Catholic Church in New Baltimore. There is a donation box with a list of items needed in the hallway at Grace. Click here for more information.

Give to Grace, save taxes

You can make a charitable donation to Grace UMC from your traditional IRA without paying income tax on the distribution. If you are at least 70 1/2, you are eligible. Talk to your financial advisor or see Vision Team member Steve Whittlesey for details.

Lay Servant Ministries

Lay Servant Ministries is one of the significant lay leadership development programs available within the United Methodist connection. Through this system of equipping and empowering, lay servants have the opportunity to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ who then go and make other disciples. Deepen your understanding in hospitality, spiritual gifts, leading class, prayer or even preaching. After the basic class, you choose your path.
