OUR PURPOSE
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:45 NIV
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
As Christians, we are to model our lives after Jesus, and in Mark 10:45 we see that Jesus came to serve. All through the new testament we see examples of Jesus showing His love for people through service. Our goal is to show the Greater Killeen area the love of God by serving the city and surrounding areas with no strings attached.
We believe we are called to serve this community.
At Grace, we serve and partner with different programs and organizations in our community to equip community leaders, restore healthy families and support people in crisis. We believe we are called to make an impact in this community. Called to transform it with the love of God and the hope of Christ. We invite you to join us in serving and reaching out to the Greater Killeen area with the love of Christ.
BAGS OF GRACE
Bags of Grace is an Outreach Initiative that gives you the opportunity to give back to our community. Each month, we partner with a local, non-profit organization and collect donations that will best meet the organization’s needs. Throughout the month of August, we are collecting items to donate to Communities in Schools.
Pick up a bag
To donate to the Communities in Schools, simply purchase any of the items from the Wish List above and drop them off no later than August 25th. Items can be dropped off in the Worship Center on Sunday mornings, before and after services, or left at our designated drop-off box, located in the front entrance of our Kids Building. The entrance to this building is open Monday through Thursday, from 9 AM to 5 PM.

OUR FOCUS
EQUIP COMMUNITY LEADERS
By supporting our community leaders, we are setting up our community to grow and thrive. When the community is doing well, the citizens can expect safer environments, more job opportunities and less stress in their lives.
RESTORE HEALTHY FAMILIES
We believe the root cause of many of society’s problems is a loss of a healthy home environment. When people face problems at home, it affects every area of their life. When a couple has a healthy marriage, they do better physically, emotionally and financially. When a child grows up in a healthy family, they perform better in school, have healthier relationships and are less likely to end up in poverty in adulthood.
SUPPORT PEOPLE IN CRISIS
When someone experiences a crisis, their whole world is turned upside down. Suddenly they find themselves in need of even the most basic things like shelter, food, water and clothing. When they are able to have those needs met, they are able to think more clearly, take steps to come out of the crisis and get back on the road to restoration.

LOCAL PARTNERS
Local partners are non-profit organizations that Grace comes alongside of to support in the services they are already providing to the community. We do this by providing some combination of financial support, resources, awareness and active volunteer recruitment.
