Ministry to the Deaf

September 23, 2013

Grace Church of Mentor's mission includes reaching out to the deaf and hearing impaired in our community for the cause of Christ. To this end we provide sign language interpreting and electronic hearing assistance devices for all of our services. Our team of trained signers interpret music and the preaching of the Word of God to the deaf and hearing impaired. With more than 20 years of experience in church ministries, our interpreters know how to communicate Biblical preaching and music in a simple way. We can help connect you with other believers, and most importantly, with Christ and His love for you.

We invite you to join us for our Sunday and Wednesday services and Bible studies. Childcare is always provided. For additional information, contact the church office.

Nursing Home Ministry

September 23, 2013

Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.

1 Corinthians 2:9

The promise of heaven is precious to all believers, but none more so than the elderly who have watched their independence slip away. It takes uniquely-gifted people to minister to these souls. Our nursing home teams reach out to two local nursing homes, investing their lives in the residents and their families.

We worship together, singing hymns from our giant-print songbooks. We pray together, sharing our physical and spiritual needs. We share the good news of Jesus Christ and His encouragment to believers.

You can join us for church the third Sunday of every month at the following locations:

Military

September 23, 2013

At Grace, we recognize the value of our freedom in the United States. That's why we seek to honor those who fight to preserve it.

Veterans

We can never repay the sacrifices our veterans have made. Nor do we pretend that we can relate to the unique challenges veterans face, both during active duty and when they come home. But we can offer truth and encouragement from the Bible and the good news of Jesus Christ, "...who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us," (Ephesians 3:20). This life-changing power can be seen in the lives of our military ministry leaders, who are veterans themselves. They understand the difficulties involved in re-adjusting to civilian life and dealing with combat-related stress. As such, they are uniquely gifted to share their experiences with other veterans, and to guide them to answers from the Bible.

Active Duty Outreach

Operation Everlasting Freedom

Military life is difficult. Even amidst all that structure, it can be hard to find spiritual stability. We want to do everything we can to help our military friends and family members. That is the motivation behind Operation Everlasting Freedom:

• to reach out to active duty service men and women through mailings and care packages
• to reach out to military families in the surrounding communities through prayer and encouragement
• to provide spiritual encouragement and accountability to our veterans
