Local Outreach
At Grace Church, we believe the church was called by God to minister to those in need, not only around the globe, but also right in our own backyard. Throughout the year Grace supports various organizations in our community which creates opportunities for you to get involved. Here are some local organizations that Grace partners with in ministering to the Kansas City community:
Heartland Habitat for Humanity
Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. The organization has built and renovated over 200,000 houses worldwide since 1976. www.heartlandhabitat.org

Hillcrest Transitional Housing
Transitional Housing's primary program focus is moving families from homelessness to self-sufficiency within 90 days. In exchange for rent/utility-free housing, residents are required by written agreement to work full time, obey the program guidelines, and attend volunteer taught classes in life skills, employment, community living, and budgeting. In addition to housing and life-skills counseling Hillcrest provides the following through a network of community support: auto repair/donation, food pantry, medical assistance, dental work, GED classes, haircuts, glasses, school clothes, work uniforms, etc. Although Hillcrest Transitional Housing provides a supportive Christian environment, it places no religious requirement on any resident, and no volunteer, resident, or donor is discriminated against because of race, creed, ethnicity, or religion.
