Grace Chapel Serving Ministries
At Grace Chapel our mission is to eradicate homelessness in whatever form it presents itself. We believe every person deserves a spiritual, emotional, and physical home. While we seek to live out our mission every day by helping connect people to the Gospel, we also know God often calls us out of our day to day and into the lives of others to serve.
Here at Grace Chapel we call those serving ministries.

Power Pack Ministry
Through our Power Packs Ministry we seek to provide the basic necessity of food for children at local elementary schools. No parent or guardian should ever be put in the position to choose between paying the rent/mortgage and utilities or feeding their families. Children receive a bag with non-perishable food items to help supplement the families’ groceries each weekend.

Operatión Abrigo
We partner with other local United Methodist churches to send teams to build homes near Juarez, Mexico each year with Operación Abrigo. Operación Abrigo was founded in 1996 by Rev. Jose Luis Portillo in Tierra Neuva, Mexico. Since then, over 7,000 homes, two churches, a medical clinic, and a vocational school have been built to serve the poor in the community. The homes are built of cinderblocks with a cement floor. Each team is led by maistros who teach the team how to mix mortar and lay the blocks. The family often helps build the home alongside the team. At the end of the weekend, the team and family participate in a home dedication ceremony.
