Tuesdays, September 19th – November 14th
(no class Tuesday, October 31st)

We believe strongly in the Ephesians 4 truth that Christ desires Christians to be equipped for effective ministry. The EQUIPPING DIVISION houses courses designed to practically resource and train to that end.

This fall semester we are offering three courses. Learn more and register for a course below.

Discovery: Intro
Sunday, November 12th, 1:30-4:00pm

Your journey begins here. Intro is the starting point for understanding the history, purpose, vision, and values of the Medina East Campus—the point where we reveal the heartbeat for our existence and share exactly what “makes us tick.”

You’ll discover that everything we do revolves around the Gospel—the story of Jesus—and how that story intersects with our lives and propels us to be more like Christ. A light lunch and childcare is provided.

5&Change – C3: Community Crisis Care

Imagine if we all gave $5 or some change to help make a change in our community and in our world. About every other month we pursue a new local or global initiative and practice generosity for our community and world!

This month we have a partnership with local law enforcement and corrections facilities to provide emergency shelter and resources to individuals and families in times of crisis.

Our local law enforcement in Medina County often encounters individuals and families who may be in a crisis situation that requires intervention but not arrest. These individuals may need temporary shelter, transportation, food, or other resources that may not be available at that moment, often after business hours or late at night. Local police departments do not have funding to care for these Medina neighbors in their time of need and Medina County does not have an emergency shelter at this time. It is not unheard of for our local offices to pay for these expenses out of their own pocket.

Community Crisis Care will fund a partnership between Grace Church-Medina East Campus and local law enforcement and corrections facilities to provide motel vouchers, food gift cards, toiletries, transportation tickets or vouchers, and other needed resources to provide temporary relief for these individuals until they can be connected to other resources or organizations that can more fully address the needs.

These funds provide temporary emergency assistance only. Officers will be provided with a “care bag” that includes a one-night motel voucher, food gift card, toiletries, church contact info, and a pocket Bible. These care bags will be used at the responding officer’s discretion. If additional care or resources are needed, the officer can contact Grace Church’s pastor-on-call or GIA Team with their request.
