Feed the Team
Help encourage local student athletes through meals, hospitality, practical support, and faithful presence. Grace can help connect volunteers with current opportunities as they are confirmed.
Ask Grace how to helpServe the Body & Our Community
Love one another. Serve our neighbors. Carry the Gospel beyond Kane.
Grace Bible Church wants service to begin within the body of Christ and extend outward into Kane, Mount Jewett, our schools, families, seniors, local ministries, and missionaries serving farther away. This page gathers practical ways to participate, serve, pray, and find help.
Supporting community
Three places to begin.
Feed the Team, Kane Wolves varsity football, and the American Red Cross are three practical starting points for encouraging local students, strengthening community readiness, and serving our neighbors.
Kane Wolves Varsity Football & KASD Activities
Follow Kane Wolves varsity football along with Kane Area School District athletics, clubs, school activities, schedule resources, and student opportunities. Show up, encourage students, and support families throughout the school year.

Serve the body
Service begins with the people God has placed around us.
Meals, prayer, encouragement, transportation, hospitality, care during illness, practical help, and simply showing up all matter. Grace wants people in the church family to know they do not have to carry every burden alone.
Missions we support
