Community Engagement
We're in this together...
Grace Chapel serves several communities in and around the Greater Boston area, and is committed to being a valued, integral part of our local community. By supporting and serving alongside community organizations within the towns around our campuses, we seek to actively live out the love of Christ towards all those around us.
We love our surrounding communities and are eager to engage in making them the best they can be! The best way to do that is to build relationships with community organizations that are already serving alongside those in need and ask, “how can we help your organization succeed?”
We feel that God loves everyone and wants our communities to flourish both spiritually and physically. And because God loves us, He desires for us to build relationships with, love and serve alongside those in our communities.
We all have skills, passions and experience that would be helpful to our communities. Take this 5 minute survey that will help you discover what your unique contribution might be. Someone from our Community Engagement Team will be back in touch with possible volunteer opportunities.
No, anyone can join us in Community Engagement!
Absolutely NOT! There are opportunities to serve once a week, once a month, or once a year.
