Local Mission

Grow Ministries has two wonderful resources helping households live out their faith in everyday moments and through faith-filled rituals and traditions.

What does it mean to form faith in children and youth? What seems to work best and why? Is your congregation looking to rethink your ministry to children and youth?

During the Season of Prayer, all are encouraged to participate in actively praying for the church. How do you pray? Do you struggle to find the right words or seek to hear God in your prayers?

This year’s Local Mission appeal focuses on developing our young adults in faith and leadership. Your donation will help us find and support the young adults in our midst, like Elsa and Joel, whom God is calling into service in the church.

Are you looking for ways to encourage others to get involved in prayer? Looking for ideas on how to pray? Or ways to teach prayer to children? The Grow Ministries GIFT Prayer resource offers resources to help us learn about the importance of prayer in our Christian lives.
