We Choose

We Choose is our ministry plan—it provides a framework for our church to pursue spiritual health and advance God's Kingdom both within and outside of our local congregations. We believe our mission of making disciples is intertwined with serving our communities at home and the global church.

Just last week, Grace Church Worship released an album of new, original songs—Church Arise. This collection has a common thread running through it—individual believers, experiencing the gospel together in community. Through these songs, we hope to encourage our church body to praise together, weep together, endure together, and go on mission together.

Serving Partners Nick and Annie VanWingerden | Grenoble, France

November 1, 2022

Nick and Annie VanWingerden are missionaries serving in Grenoble, France, and we are privileged to support and partner with them. Like most typical post-Christian European countries, France has great spiritual needs. Its proximity to North Africa and immigration have changed the landscape both ethnically and religiously. The VanWingerdens and their local church can connect with young people from all over the world. They are seeking to reach the least reached peoples where they are most reachable to make an impact for God's Kingdom.

However, they knew God had brought them to the area for his purposes, and part of that was serving in the context of the local church.
