Local Outreach

We had a wonderful evening with Karl Johnson of Chesterton House at Cornell University. His lecture Faith in the Halls of Learning, was enlightening and encouraging. We look forward to continuing this relationship of bringing keynote speakers to the Rochester area. Did you miss it? Our next lecture will be with Dr. Gary Fick, agricultural scientist at Cornell University, on April 21st at 7:00pm at the Grace Church office. Look for more details to come as the date approaches.

Our Local Outreach Team has two main focuses: it seeks to promote local ministries in the Rochester area who share our desire to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ in diverse ways and it seeks to create opportunities for Grace Church members and friends to give of their time, talents, and treasures to these ministries.

In addition, the Local Outreach Team seeks to provide the momentum necessary for Grace Church-sponsored outreach and community events.  Over the past few years, the church has heavily invested in the Beechwood neighborhood of Rochester, through sponsoring and engaging in works such as community gardening, children’s outreach, and home renovation, working alongside nonprofit organizations such as NEAD (Northeast Area Development) and Community Place of Greater Rochester.

The culmination of this work has been the establishment of our urban ministry work, 441 Ministries.  441 is a joint effort by Grace Church PCA and a handful of its members who live in the neighborhood.  For more information on this ministry click here.
