Grace Community Church and Fusion Student Ministries will be hosting their 18th Annual Missions Auction on Saturday April 29, 2023. As a result of so many generous contributions in 2022, we were able to raise over $31,000! Our auction is the primary fundraising event we engage in, so this one event helps us to support many different outreaches which we participate in throughout the year, including:

*Community Outreach- Each Christmas season we are intentional to help families in need through our Missions Lock-in. We provide Christmas presents and other items to the children in these families. In 2022 we supported over 150 children!  Additionally, we reach out to students from our community with a weekly gathering where they can spend time in a positive environment; hear an encouraging, constructive message; and receive ongoing support to help them through their current life challenges. We host a variety of events throughout the year for students that provide a safe environment with fun activities.

*Family Outreach- We go a step beyond helping students in need; our desire is to meet the needs of entire families. We strive to support parents as they teach and train their children by developing character in our students, and at times, by meeting tangible needs such as school clothes, Christmas presents, or groceries. Our partnership with a local school is providing many opportunities for us to minister to families in need.

*National Outreach- Although we primarily focus on impacting our local community, we show our students the importance of reaching beyond ourselves by serving outside of our region each year. In 2022 we took a team to Tijuana, Mexico, where we provided meals, basic medical care, and shoes to those living in the border canals as well as groceries for an entire village. We also served at an addiction rehabilitation center. In all of this we were sharing God's love by meeting both physical and spiritual needs.
