TO MAKE THE
dream work
At Grace, we have always stated that we are ALL ministers, and therefore all part of the call - EKKLESIA - to serve and love our Church, neighbours and the community.
​
Our ministry teams are made up of 4 core parts of our Christian ministry:
-
Love
-
Worship
-
Learn
-
Witness
​
In order to carry out our mission and vision, every ministry has a team leader who is responsible for building the team and developing plans to carry out the mission.
​
The functions of these Ministry Teams are simple: Leading people to be disciples of Jesus.
Love is at the core of the gospel and the ethos of what Grace is about.
​
Love Ministries are ministries that focus on the love and care of others. They are about creating places of belonging and safety where people can learn to believe in Jesus, join others who are learning to behave like Him, and together become living examples of Him.
​
Our Care & Connections Pastor Tim Goertzen oversees Love Ministries.
