Fellowship of the Word (FOW) is a ministry of Leadership Resources International (LRI) aimed at bringing together pastors in your area who share a vision to promote a growing partnership of gospel ministry.  LRI and FOW are not ministries of Grace Church of DuPage, however, we do participate in their ministry and host their conference in our building.

The Mission Training Academy (MTA) provides a rich theological education experience (at no cost) for "regular" church attenders and leaders/vocational ministers alike.  As a church, we are committed to providing rigorous and regular theological education for the whole church as well as engaging in the biblically rooted calling upon the local church to raise up leaders for ecclesially based ministry and mission.  Our core seminars are open to those enrolled in the formal training tracks as well as the entire church body and are provided five times each year.

You can learn how to lead a small group and get experience in providing shepherding care, while at the same time being observed and mentored by other godly and mature believers.  Each of these groups has a different ministry leader and ministry structure.  Contact Ray Glinski to ask about ways that you can get involved and learn to shepherd and disciple well for the Kingdom of Christ.

Our classes are purposed to train and equip men and women to be disciples who are making disciples of Jesus Christ.  Biblical counseling classes are available to those who are simply eager to learn more about counseling as well as those who are working toward becoming a certified biblical counselor.

The Quest Program is a ministry of Outreach Ministries.  WYFS (Warrenville Youth and Family Services) uses our church building and facilities for their daily programming, but we do not oversee or have any involvement in the leadership of this ministry. However, we do encourage our church members to get involved in the lives of these students through their mentoring program.

We send out various short-term teams each year.  Generally, our teams partner with one of our global outreach workers and their local church community, and Josiah Venture to run a summer camp for youth.  Several of our own youth take part in this mission and we are always greatly blessed by a diversity of ages to help mentor and guide our own youth on our trip as well.

Do you have a flair for floral creations? Have you wondered how you might use those gifts and talents to worship the Lord? The GCD decorating team will hold a brief informational meeting on Sunday, September 23, at 12:15pm in CE 13. Come join us!

We seek to provide love and encouragement with meals for those in need within the Grace Church family.  Often times this is when there is an illness, a new birth, or some sort of life circumstance that makes the task of feeding either themselves or their families difficult.  This ministry is facilitated and organized by our Women's ministry, but providing meals is not limited to only those in women's ministry!  If you would like to serve in this way, we'd love to add you to our email list of volunteers to prepare meals!

When a member of our Grace Church family has experienced the death of a loved one, our Bereavement Committee can help love them in several practical ways such as: sending cards and flowers, providing food for visitations, and preparing and serving a funeral luncheon.

We are looking for mature believers who are passionate about discipling our youth to join our Youth Leadership Team.  Our vision is to shepherd students out of conformity to this world and into disciples who long to be transformed into the image of Christ. Toward this end, leaders commit to giving of their time and gifts to help lead small groups, participate in events, and pursue mentoring relationships with students throughout the week.

We provide an athletic and recreational environment for sports-loving people and their families that we might live and proclaim the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to all who enter our courts and fields.  Multiple families in our community have a father or husband that participate in our basketball league each January-March.  Consider attending these games, getting to know these families and their little ones, and pursuing gospel opportunities with them.

Sports: Open Gym, Basketball League, Flag Football, Softball League, Kid's Basketball Camps, and the occasional Saturday Night Volleyball.
