Missions & Outreach

We practice church-based campus ministry. We have a heart to reach the next generation and encourage our church members to join in our efforts to make disciples of students from the University of Oregon, Bushnell University, and Lane Community College. Click here to learn more.

In November of 2023, we hosted Dr. Rice Broocks and the God’s Not Dead Events team for a multi-media presentation that examines the evidence for the existence of God from science, philosophy, and history. We had more than two-hundred students attend and several attendees gave their life to Christ.

In August of 2023, we had the opportunity to send a team to help support Every Nation Church | Downtown LA and their campus ministry launch at the University of Southern California. We evangelized on campus, promoted ministry launch events, and helped host a God’s Not Dead Event.

In November of 2022, we were blessed to partner with Monroe Middle School to donate Thanksgiving Meal Boxes for 23 families that otherwise would not have had a traditional Thanksgiving meal. God continues to bless our relationship with our schools and it had yielded fun opportunities like this.

In October of 2022, we joined in with Every Child Lane County and Oregon DHS to refresh family visitation rooms with new toys, games, furniture, and activities. We are trusting that God is going to bless these spaces and children for years to come.

We are thrilled to support One Hope Lane County’s Overflow Hope - a gospel sharing initiative on social media to spread local stories of why people follow Jesus. Our Operations Director, Casey, supports in an ongoing role as a videographer and contributor to their strategy team.

In the Spring of 2022, a team from Grace City Eugene traveled to Austin, Texas to provide support to a new, Every Nation Church plant - Family Life Austin. During our trip, we participated in evangelism on the University of Texas’ campus, served the houseless community downtown, and held a serve day for the school Family Life Church meets at.

What began as joining a One Hope initiative to purchase and deliver Thanksgiving meals for families at Willagillespie Elementary and Monroe Middle School opened the door for us to serve as a meal resource again for families in need around Christmas 2021. We continue to remain in relationship with these schools and look forward to future serving opportunities.

In August of 2021, we joined in with dozens of churches in Lane County to provide families in need with critical supplies for the upcoming school year. We sponsored 42 students in the Bethel School District to attend the Project Hope event where they received backpacks, school supplies, socks, and shoes. We also helped participate in the event by providing a site photographer and send off team.

Since 2020, Grace City Eugene has been partnering with Youth for Christ Lane County (YFC) by sharing space at their office and club space on Crescent Ave. In 2021, our own Jess Olsen began serving as a Middle School Director at Monroe and Cal Young Middle Schools, creating a clear on ramp for students in our community to get plugged into church. When students come into that space throughout the week, YFC’s staff and volunteers know that they can point students towards a church that meets in the same space.

We continue to partner with Freedom Tree and their work in Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, birth is a dangerous passage. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum complications put the mother and baby in serious jeopardy. In 2019, we sent a team to provide ministry and medical care to several villages that Freedom Tree was either already connected to or we seeking to enter. We continue to support their efforts financially and prayerfully, and we intend to send teams to Sierra Leone in the future.

In 2017, we sent a team to Houston, Texas to help respond to Hurricane Harvey. On our trip, we helped with mold remediation and a home reconstruction. Our Every Nation Church in Houston, City Life Church, coordinated these efforts and opened doors for us to help serve their community in the midst of crisis.
