Missions has been a part of our DNA from the very beginning!

1964 our first full time missionary was sent.

1966 we hosted our first missions conference.

Presently we support over 40 missionaries near and far. They include church planters, college campus ministries, international ministry, and training / discipling / mobilizing.

Who are our missionaries?

First of all we call our missionaries, "Global Partners". We consider our support of them a partnership, and we take it seriously! We pray for them continually and strive to keep in touch with them so that we can remain involved in their work. Their stories are amazing!

Grace Church Global Partners are young adults just heading out on the mission field. They are couples and families choosing to live in other countries to form relationships so they can share the gospel. They are individuals entrenched on college campuses. They are seasoned workers of God who have spent their whole lives in service to Him to share the love of Jesus and further His Kingdom. And they are people who live and work in their neighborhoods and churches to share the salvation of Jesus Christ in their own countries.

How do we support our missionaries?

No money is used from the operating budget of Grace Church to support our Global Partners.

The financial support for all our Global Partners comes directly from the generous family of Grace Church. Pledges are made in the fall of each year to help the GO Team oversee the yearly budget and make decisions on support.

Are there other ways Grace Church fulfills the command of  Matthew 28:19?                                                 YES! The GO Team supports

An Exciting Ministry

Grace is blessed to have been part of God's work through hundreds of missionaries in our 60 year history. We gratefully acknowledge their faithfulness, as well as the sacrifices our global partner families have made in taking the message of salvation through Jesus Christ througout the world. It always has been - and continues to be- a privilege for us to partner together in the Gospel.

The Carrs are ministering on college campuses in Edwardsville and surrounding areas, where they focus on equipping students to become lifelong disciple-making evangelists wherever the Lord leads them, both as students and after college. Their ministry is empowering students to make disciples and share the good news of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, wherever they go whether in their local communities or around the world.
