Our mission is to proclaim and celebrate the word and sacrament that God in Christ embraces the world. We hope and pray that our mission will bless you with that word and sacrament of being embraced by God and that you in turn will be that embrace for others, indeed for the world.

Volunteer opportunities

One time opportunities
Ongoing commitment opportunities

The Outreach Ministry’s mission is to thank God by leading the parish to invite and engage community involvement, both within and beyond Grace Church. We’re committed to raising and maintaining awareness of the needs of our community, as well as providing opportunities for parishioners to volunteer. We direct and coordinate fundraising events to benefit several charitable organizations, and work with area churches and other organizations to assist our hungry and homeless. Grace’s annual BBQ and the Soup Luncheon are two of our most well-loved and well-attended fundraisers. We have partnered with Anderson Interfaith Ministries (AIM), Family Promise, and Meals and Wheels in our local community. We continue to work with the Upper South Carolina diocese in maintaining essential support to our global missions in Haiti and Ecuador.
