CARE & HELP
Care Ministries exists to nurture the emotional and spiritual health of the church by providing Gospel-focused care to individuals, couples and families in formative and challenging times. No matter what you are going through, if you need someone to pray, a pastor to talk to, or help connecting with the right resources, we are here for you!
WEDDINGS
Getting Married.
We are so excited to serve you during the process of marriage and wedding planning.
Grace Church is committed to serving couples as they journey towards building a Christ-centered marriage. Fill out the marriage form to get started!
MARRIAGE
Invest in your marriage.
Whether you’ve been married for any amount of time or newly engaged, it’s never too late or early to invest in your marriage!
One way that you can invest in your marriage is through taking the SYMBIS marriage assessment and meeting with one of our certified marriage mentors. Contact us to get started!
What Is Marriage Mentoring?
It’s simple. A seasoned and experienced couple (nobody said anything about being perfect) comes alongside a less experienced couple to help show them the way and learn from their experience.
Marriage Mentors at Medina East use SYMBIS – ‘Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts’ training materials. Once training is completed, you will be paired with either an engaged couple utilizing SYMBIS mentoring prior to their wedding to get their marriage off to a strong start, or an already married couple who is looking to SYMBIS mentoring as a marriage ‘tune-up’ to keep their relationship strong and stable.
Interested in becoming a trained SYMBIS facilitator and mentoring couples? Let us know below and we will be in touch with you soon!
FUNERALS
Memorial Service.
We desire to serve and assist you in times of loss. If you would like to check facility availability or if you need a pastor from Grace to conduct a memorial service, please contact us.
COUNSELING
Get pastoral and biblical counseling.
Discipleship and biblical community through Life Group are some of the best ways to deal with challenges in our day to day lives.
We also realize that some crises and situations necessitate pastoral or professional counseling for help and support. Contact us or one of our referrals.
