GraceLocal Partner Ministries
Grace Downtown works with partner organizations throughout the District that are working to see God’s love, justice and mercy renew the District spiritually, culturally and socially. We encourage you to read about our partner ministries and get involved through your Community Group.
There are so many wonderful organizations already in Washington DC, we are constantly amazed, and hope to be constantly learning from them. We encourage you to explore and get to know whatever ministries are in your neighborhood, and within your particular areas of interest. The below organizations are ones with which the Grace Downtown community as a whole has developed a strong and growing relationship, which we have made a special commitment to support and learn from.
Partnerships with organizations that are primarily focused on issues of mercy and justice are overseen by our diaconate. Partnerships with organizations that are primarily focused on helping others deepen their understanding of who God is and what Jesus’ work means for their lives are overseen by our elders and pastors.
If you would like to learn more about any of our Partner Ministries or have questions about getting involved, please feel free to reach out to our diaconate.
