We are committed to providing a loving atmosphere where we teach, shepherd, and equip children to live and proclaim the gospel with authenticity and passion.  We are looking for volunteers with hearts to serve and guide young ones in this way as fits the child's age and stage of development. Volunteers commit to serving as often as every Sunday during Sunday School or the main service, monthly, or on occasion in programs like Vacation Bible School or AWANA.

We exist to proclaim the Gospel-centered, Christ-exalting, neighbor-loving message of adoption and to partner with GCD families who are in the process of adoption with prayer, counsel, encouragement, community, and financial support.  You can be involved in this mission by adopting or giving financially toward those who are looking to adopt.

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.

Grace Church of DuPage is committed to providing rigorous and regular theological education for the whole church as an important element in Christian formation, as a means of equipping for service in church-based ministries, and as an aid in the pursuit of fruitful life and mission in the diverse spheres into which God calls us. Likewise, we feel a burden and responsibility, more specifically, to be engaged in the biblically rooted calling upon the local church to raise up leaders for ecclesially based ministry and mission. In the blessing and provision of the Lord, we are able to pursue both goals under the umbrella of the Mission Training Academy (MTA).

Training Tracts:
Pastoral Ministry Training (PMT)
Mission Preparation Program (MPP)
Women's Ministry Training (WMT)
Lay Ministry Training (LMT)

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!
