Visitation

This is one way that the church meets the needs of its members, particularly the shut-ins or to those in hospitals, the bereaved or others who cannot make it out to services. The pastoral care and comfort of the church is thereby extended to those in need.
Small Group Fellowship
This is an environment where life-changing transformation takes place. By getting into a Small Group you can experience a deeper and warmer sense of community at G. C. C. The ultimate goal of each Small Group is to provide that sense of community and equip you to edify the lives of others around you and in the church as a whole.
Word of Life Junior & Senior Varsity
This is a sure drawing card for our young people between the ages of 14 – 18 apart from the Sunday morning educational hour. The goal is to develop balance, maturity and a well-rounded personality in a Club setting that emphasizes spiritual values as the hub of life. This program comes with a well-developed Curriculum that has been tested with time.
Adult Continuing Education
This facet of education takes into consideration all that is needed to bring persons to full maturity in Christ. True to its name, the education is presented on an adult level and in a systematic fashion. Our Curriculum breaks down into three basic categories:
Bible and Doctrinal Tract This would include subjects such as A study of Bible Books and other doctrinal topics.
Issues of Life Tract
This includes studies such as Developing & Maintaining a Healthy Marriage, Raising Children in a godly fashion, Stewardship and more.
Evangelism or Outreach Tract This includes studies on various ways of being a Disciple of Jesus Christ and helping others to become disciples as well. Becoming a Mentor, learning the ways of being a people helper.
It all happens here at Grace on Sunday mornings in our Education Center at 9:30 a. m. to 10:30a.m.
Who can participate? Everyone who desires to know the word of God and to do His will. We have entertained many non-members of Grace who come for the educational hour at 9:30 a.m, then go on to their home church, say for an 11:00 a. m. service.

AWANA CLUBS
The Goal of the AWANA Club is to reach boys and girls with a variety program that incorporates Games, Drama, Scripture memory and Counsel time with godly church leaders. Their motto: “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed” comes directly out of their theme verse (2 Timothy 2:15), Study to show thyself approved, a workman, not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. The AWANA Club of boys and girls meets on the Campus of Grace each Tuesday evening during the regular school term promptly at 6:30 p m. At the present time Grace attracts approximately 300 children weekly to the AWANA program. Participation is open to all kids between the ages of 3 – 13. Registration is held on a weekly basis during the AWANA sessions.
Global Missions

It is the delight of Grace Community Church to extend its influence worldwide by our missionary program. The highlight of the Global Missions program is the Annual Global Missions Conference. This occasion sets the tone for the rest of the year in the commitment of persons and resources to Short-term Missions.
(YWAM) Youth with a Mission and the Summer Youth Camps are also outreach efforts that engage the young people of the church and expose them to the joy of reaching out for Christ.
Our goal is to reach as many persons as possible with the Gospel of Christ, both home and abroad. The Global Missions program has existed here at Grace for 23 years with Short term missions teams going out to the field for some 18 years.
Worship
Here at Grace we take seriously the fact that Worship is for God. This purpose is expressed through the exalted and excited worship style of the church. Quite often at Funerals, Weddings and other services where visitors receive a first taste of our music, we receive unsolicited comments about the atmosphere of worship here at Grace. Some persons have said, “I feel alive with the music here at this church; You just know how to lead people in Worship. You need to have your music burned on CD’s for wider distribution. Your Praise Team made the difference.
The Prayer Garden
This is a work of faith and a labour of love. It keeps us on our knees. Recognizing the importance of prayer, this church wholeheartedly endorses the ministry of the Prayer Garden. This ministry highlights prayer needs from everywhere. You do not need to be a member of Grace to have a prayer need prayed for by us. Address your prayer request either by regular mail or Email to the Prayer Garden, Grace Community Church. Our Email address is info@gracebahamas.com |
