Senior Honor

We believe it is important to care for the seniors in our community with compassion and love. The Bible is clear that old age deserves dignity and respect, and we are thankful for the wisdom our seniors bring to the body of Christ. Through our Senior Honor ministry, Grace Church volunteers provide worship services, build one-on-one relationships, and facilitate other opportunities at elderly care communities across the Upstate. Individuals, families, and groups are all welcome to serve in Senior Honor.

Disaster Relief

When a crisis or natural disaster occurs in our area, we are rightfully concerned about how people will be affected physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Because we want to help ease suffering, we may be tempted to respond impulsively in ways that are more likely to help us feel good than do real good. As a church, we want to be intentional, purposeful, and reflective in how we reach out to those affected. If a major crisis happens in South Carolina or within a few hours drive, we believe we need to assess our responsibility and ability to respond well. See our crisis response plan to learn more about our approach.

To train to respond to a natural disaster, local crises, or refugee resettlement with qualified organizations, email outreach@grace.sc for more information.

Piedmont Women's Center

Piedmont Women's Center

Piedmont Women’s Center is an Upstate organization committed to caring for women in crisis both during and after their pregnancies. Whenever possible, the hope at PWC is to prevent abortion through free pregnancy tests, OB ultrasounds, and counseling. A major component of their ministry is geared towards post-abortion recovery, but their desire is to see each woman avoid the bondage of abortion altogether.
