Ministry Opporitunities at Grace
College Ministry
Students from Truman State University and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine have always been a vital part of our GCBC family. We encourage students to join us in all aspects of church life, including any church event or fellowship time. Students add an unique dimension to our church body that is greatly enjoyed and
appreciated. Our Pastor wants to be
available to you at any time. He also
regularly visits the campuses and enjoys interacting with the students. “Adopt-A-Student” is an important ministry at GCBC. Students volunteer to be paired up with church families who want to offer “a home away from home” through friendship,
fellowship and home-cooked meals.
Many of our students are involved with Campus Crusade for Christ ministries. They offer Bible studies and discipleship groups that stress small-group
involvement, prayer, mutual accountability, spiritual growth and outreach.
Social activities, seminars, and retreats
further enhance the students’
relationship with God.
GCBC has helped sponsor students each summer on mission projects throughout the U.S. and the world.
We are committed to you!
