Women's Ministries

MISSION

We, the women of Grace Presbyterian Church, desire to magnify the Lord and exalt His Name together (Psalm 34:1) through our spiritual growth (Col. 2:6-7), fellowship (Heb. 10:24-25), service (Gal. 6:9-10), and outreach (Matt. 28:19-20a).

ORGANIZATION

Under the leadership of the Lord and the elders of this church, we are led by a leadership team which meets monthly for prayer, Bible study, ministry reports, and planning.
