Missions and Ministries

       Grace Baptist Church participates in many mission and ministry activities,
both local and international.

Local Missions and Ministries:

Angel Food Ministry

    A food ministry now available at Grace Baptist Church can help you save $ on your grocery bill. Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief to communities throughout the United States. Angel Food's groceries are sold in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at $25 per unit.  Each month's menu is different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $50.  Comparison shopping has been done across the country in various communities using a wide range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78.

 WOW!!!  Now that’s a savings of “$17-$53”.

Handyman Program:

Recognizing an unmet need the men of Grace Baptist Church have banded together to provide a unique "hands-on" mission ministry. Through the Handyman program they provide help to older persons in our congregation and community that need small repair jobs or assistance that often times they cannot afford. The men provide this help without charge to those unable to pay. They earn money to provide financial support for this ministry using various activities such as a pancake breakfast.

Weekend Flea Market and Western North Carolina State Fair:

Recognizing the opportunity for a unique ministry and an opportunity to share the Gospel along with a cup of coffee Grace Baptist Church assists in rest stop ministries in the local area on Holiday weekends and helps to man a booth providing comfort and cold water during the Mountain State Fair days. Working under the auspices of the ABCCM local volunteers also offer dental and medical care to Fair workers.
