Many Children's Ministry rooms are full of children who would love to spend time with you!  Serving once a month is a huge blessing for both children and volunteers!  We especially have a need in the nurseries and the 2's and 3's rooms.  If you are interested in volunteering please contact Janice Gilmour at janice@gracedupage.org.

There are multiple opportunities to provide childcare for groups that meet for Ladies Bible Study, Marriage Builders, FLOCKS, and more.  Consider serving families in this way to allow parents important time for fellowship, prayer, bible study, and accountability.

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.

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!
