Ministries – Outreach and Service – Grace Bible Fellowship Church

SERVING OTHERS

Loving as Christ has loved us

OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE OUR NEIGHBORS

Our group is an open, accepting place for mothers in the surrounding communities and in our church to connect with one another. In this group we hope members will experience personal growth, practical help, and spiritual hope. We also offer a program for your pre-school children.

N.A. CHILDCARE

We provide free childcare for a Narcotics Anonymous group which meets in our church every Friday night. Volunteers may play with children in the gym, help bake a snack, lead crafts, care for infants/toddlers, or oversee the check-in table and security.

GOOD NEWS CLUB

We partner with CEF to run an after school Good News Club at Nether Providence Elementary School where kids get to sing, make crafts, and hear about God.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Each year we put together several hundred shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. Each box is delivered by Samaritans Purse to a child affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, or disease.

GRIEFSHARE

Support group for those who have experienced the loss of someone close to them. GriefShare, a 13-week course, includes video testimony from those who have experienced loss as well as seasoned counselors. We also offer seminars for surviving the holidays and for those who have lost a spouse.

DIVORCECARE

Support group for those who are facing the difficult effects of marital separation and divorce. DivorceCare is a 13-week program that includes video testimony from those who have gone through a divorce and hopeful advice from experienced counselors.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS

There are hundreds of college students from dozens of different countries on our local college campuses. International Friends exist to befriend and serve the students and to share the love of Christ with them.

NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH

We are committed to loving and serving those around us. Throughout the year we run several events for our neighbors, as well as looking for ways to bless those who live and work in our community.

EXPLORE CHRISTIANITY

If you or someone you know would like to take a closer look at who Jesus is and what Christians believe we would love to have you join one of our Christianity Explored or Life Explored groups.

OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE THE CHURCH

VOLUNTEERS

There are lots of ways you can serve at Grace! From helping with Sunday coffee or church meals, to serving as an usher or greeter, to helping at neighborhood events. You can serve in children’s ministries, help around the building, or serve in a ministry or on a committee.

WORSHIP and TECH

It is important that our worship services involve the participation of the entire congregation. There are individuals whose giftedness and service greatly aid us in this goal through their use of instruments, voices and behind the scenes abilities with technology.

MISSIONS

Jesus calls us all to be on mission, loving others and sharing the Good News with those around the world. Grace is actively involved in promoting outreach here in our own community and partnering with local organizations that are reaching out in Chester and throughout Delaware County.

REACHING BEYOND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

See our 'On Mission' page for current missions opportunities

SHORT-TERM MISSIONS

Each year we send a number of individuals and teams throughout the world to share the love of Christ. Check back later in the year for upcoming opportunities to both go and send.

CHURCH PLANTING

We are committed to seeing the influence of Christ's church expand throughout the world, including right here in our own communities. One way we do this is to network with a number of local churches and to partner with other BFC churches throughout the region, including several new church plants.
