OUTREACH
At Grace Hill Church we value not only our own personal transformation but also participating in the transformation of our community. The formula for both is the same - Gospel + Time + Safety = Transformation. We want to have a presence in our community so we can invite our neighbors to taste and see that the Lord is good.
WE AIM TO BE A PRESENCE…
We want to be a presence that provides the things that lead to transformation. When our members show up in the community, share the gospel, give time and safety, we participate in the Lord’s work of transformation.
We implement this through actively promoting a Gospel + Time + Safety mentality which we believe paves the way for deep transformation.
So, how do we do it?
GOSPEL + TIME + SAFETY = TRANSFORMATION
Gospel
Outreach events that proclaim the gospel explicitly or implicitly, run by the church. Other ways members can engage is through education as we continue to see what the Bible has to say about investing in our local community.
Time
Both one-time and ongoing relational commitments that focus on the service of others in the community. In the short term, we are a “delight to be around,” and a light to others as we participate in one-time opportunities. As we invest in long-term relationships, we model Christ as we continually spend time with others in the community, without strings attached.
Safety
As relational safety invites vulnerability and authenticity, we recognize that individuals cannot fully show up in their true selves if they are unable to have their basic needs met – there is immense value in simply providing for our neighbors’ physical needs. (James 2:15-17))
