G.R.A.C.E.D
PURPOSE
The purpose of G.R.A.C.E.D. is to bridge the gap from youth church to adult church. G.R.A.C.E.D will be based and centered on the word of God. This will be an opportunity to influence right believing about who we are in Christ and His love for us, which bring about right living and direction for our lives. We will see the power of God change lives and set hearts ablaze for the service and will of our heavenly father. Our purpose will not be to condemn but show the absolute love and grace of God to every individual. (Titus 2:11-14)
​
MISSION
The mission of G.R.A.C.E.D. Ministry is bridging the gap with young adults ages 18-30 by using the Word of God, foundation from youth church and fusing with the teachings in the main sanctuary. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will be sensitive to the needs of young adults between the ages of 18-30. G.R.A.C.E.D will be a ministry that will hear out the concerns of young adults and their place within the church. (Proverbs 11:14)
​
The age group from 18-30 is Benaja’s next generation of church leaders and G.R.A.C.E.D ministry will help encourage and motivate these young adults to get involved in other activities and ministries with in Benaja. (I Peter 2:9) Within this ministry we will share God’s Holy Word, grace, and love with one another and outside the walls of Benaja and into the community. (Matt 28:19)
​
During the ages of 18-30, this is a season of physical, spiritual, personal, and mental transitions. G.R.A.C.E.D will encourage members to make Jesus the center of their daily lives in every aspect. In fusing these elements together, they will know how to let their light shine, the gap will be bridged and righteous believing will be produced. (Ezekiel 37:4-6, Joshua 1:8, Psalms 16:11, Romans 12:2)
