VOLUNTEER NEEDS

GraceKids Teachers: We need volunteers to pour the love of God into our kids! If you’re interested in teaching, please contact Lee at lsimmons@gracegso.org.

Photography Team: We love sharing photos of events with our local community so they can see what Grace is about, but we need your help! If you have an eye for photography (experience preferred, but certainly not required – nor is fancy equipment!), help us take action photos of events you may already be attending. Please email Lauren: lhatfield@gracegso.org.

Missionary Care Team: We have a few spots opening up on our Missionary Care Team. This team connects with our missionaries, prays for them individually, and discovers any ways our church can directly serve them. If you’d like to know more about what’s involved, please email missions@gracegso.org
