Grace City Outreach exists to lead our city and our world into a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ.
We love our city and our world through relationships. We are intentional about who we partner with as we serve compassionately and consistently in order to restore individuals and ourselves into right relationship with God, others, creation, and self.
Join us for Serve Day!
Serve Day is our annual opportunity as a church to go out into our city and serve our community! There are Serve Locations with all kinds of different opportunities for you and the whole family to be a part of!
All of our teams will meet at our Lakeside Campus for a Serve Day Rally at 10:00AM and we will head off to our Serve Locations after our rally!
Join Us For Outreach on Saturday, November 7th
On the first Saturday of every month, we gather as a church to serve our city, meet tangible needs, and evangelize to our city. We’ll begin together at 8:30 AM for a short Outreach Gathering with worship, encouragement, stories, and prayer before heading out across Lakeland with our outreach teams.
Whether you’re serving alongside one of our local partners or joining an evangelism team, there’s a place for you.
Come be part of what God is doing in our city. We can’t wait to serve with you!
Homeless Care Outreach
Serve with Worth and Purpose to connect one-on-one with individuals experiencing homelessness in our city. Come help meet tangible needs through compassionate one on one interaction.
Hunger Relief Outreach
Our team will serve alongside One More Child to help in their food warehouse. We will sort and organize food items that will be distributed across Central Florida. These efforts help ensure that families and individuals in need have reliable access to food.
Housing for the Homeless Outreach
Serve with Gospel Inc. to maintain outdoor spaces at Gospel Village, a housing community for the formerly homeless. Volunteers build community through grounds care and personal connections with the residents.
Salt Night
Salt Night is an evening for our church to step out together and live on mission in Lakeland. We’ll meet at the church at 5:30pm for a short send-off, then head out in small groups around 6:00pm to be present in our city.
Groups may walk the lake, grab dinner, visit a park, or choose another everyday activity with the goal of looking for natural opportunities to pray, encourage others, and share the hope of Jesus. Teams will be formed during the send-off gathering.
Grace City Missions
Our Grace City Missions aid our global partners by participating in short-term mission trips.
Our teams serve in many different ways in so many different places, so there’s a Grace City Mission Trip for you!
