Men’s Ministry at Grace is committed to influence men to be the honorable leaders God has called them to be…in their homes, in their church, and in their community. Iron sharpens iron and we want to help men grow in their relationship with God and build deep friendships with other godly men. A natural result of this is spiritually stronger husbands, fathers, families, and churches. Our purpose is to challenge one another to serve God and our church in a greater capacity.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved with the Men’s Ministry of Grace, email Mike Smith at grace@gccsalem.org

Adult Bible Fellowships (ABF) and Sunday School Classes are held from 9:30-10:15 every Sunday morning. During this time we have age-appropriate classes for children through high school as well as classes designed with life applicable lessons for adults. These ABF classes are subject-based and typically change every 6-12 weeks. ABF’s provide an atmosphere where you can develop relationships of genuine concern and commitment to one another, dig deeper, ask questions, and engage in a dialogue about the truths in God’s Word. Bring your Bible and join us for a cup of coffee…make ABF and Sunday School a part of your Sunday worship experience.

For more information about ABF/Sunday School, email cbarnes@gccsalem.org.

Grace Student Ministries

Student Ministries is designed for grades 6-12 (ages 13-18). Every Wednesday evening at 7 p.m., Student Ministries meets for an exciting and inspirational service which includes awesome music led by the student worship band and a relevant message that will challenge you throughout the week. Our youth leaders are ready to meet you! Join us this Wednesday in the Gathering Place!

Junk Band 

Junk is comprised of students that are committed to living outside the box of tradition. The Junk Band uses ordinary objects, such as ladders, trash cans, buckets, and more to create a musical troupe. Junk illustrates the principle that Jesus can use His grace to transform the junk in our lives into a powerful testimony. Our Junk Band is a greatly sought after ministry that performs in several events throughout the year.

Drama Team

The Drama Team demonstrates an expressive form of communication. Our youth perform skits and human videos for our church and in our community. This is a great opportunity for students to use their talents to show the light of Jesus in Salem.

Worship Band 

Grace Community Church is blessed to have a powerful youth worship band. The worship band is an important part of each service the student’s experience. This has proven to be an opportunity for our youth to develop and use their musical talents. Every week this student-led worship band leads the youth into the Presence of God.

Young At Heart

The Young at Heart group caters to those 55 and above. This group has a fellowship event on the second Thursday of every month in the Gathering Place and other scheduled special events. We are privileged at Grace to have such a devoted group of people that love Jesus and love each other. If you have not experienced this group, make plans to attend Young at Heart’s next event!

Senior Care Center Ministry 

GCC has an Adult Ministry group that reaches out to the community of Salem on a weekly basis.

Jesus was an intercessor while He was here on earth. He prayed for those who were sick and possessed by demons. He prayed for His disciples. He even prayed for you and me when He interceded for all those who would believe on Him. He now serves as our intercessor in Heaven. At Grace Community Church we want to do our best to follow the model that Christ left for us in every area of life including prayer. The Intercessory Prayer Ministry is vital to our success in ministry. Currently we have a Ladies’ Prayer Group that meets every Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. in the Sanctuary.

If you have a desire to become part of the prayer groups, please contact our church office at 573-729-4573.

We cherish the opportunities to share the Grace of God to those without hope. Our prisons are filled with people who need to hear about Jesus. Grace Community Church’s Prison Ministry reaches out to those who are incarcerated. This ministry is directed by Nanci Wisdom who effectively ministers to the lives of inmates at the South Central Correction Center in Licking, Missouri, on a weekly basis. There is also a special Sunday evening service at the prison as often as possible.
