COMMUNITY IMPACT
Our mission is to make disciples who love God and love people. This calling starts by being actively involved in our community. Here are just a few of the ways we are serving our community.
TRUNK OR TREAT
Every October we offer a safe, fun filled evening for our community! Here you will find food, carnival games, inflatables and of course lots of candy! Dress up and go “trick or treating” from trunk to trunk and receive tons of safe candy while enjoying the decorations. The best part is this event is 100% FREE and ALL are welcome!
ROWE MIDDLE SCHOOL
GracePointe has adopted Rowe as OUR school. We provide school supplies for students who cannot afford them, appreciation lunches for teachers and administration two times per year, help with renovation projects, student housing needs, and other needs when they arise.
LOVE ONE LAUNDRY
We have partnered with LoveOne Laundry Milwaukie – a neighboring movement that partners with groups and local laundromats to wash the clothes and bedding of low-income and/or no-income families and individuals. This event happens the second Monday of each month at Milwaukie Laundry, and is staffed by GracePointe volunteers. We are always accepting donations of non-perishable grab and go foods, personal hygiene products, food for small dogs, and quarters for the machines.
FILL A STOCKING, FILL A HEART
With help and support from surrounding communities, we bring a touch of joy to those in need. For many this is the only gift they will receive during the holiday season. We fill stockings with personal useful necessities, as well as a few nice small gifts.
A donation bin is located in Helm Hall at the GP Café.
For more information, contact Jason & Morgan Anderson.
ANGEL TREE: A PRISON FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Every Christmas season we partner with Prison Fellowship to help make the holiday season a little more merry and bright for children of incarcerated parents.
GracePointe Church traditionally adopts over 40 children and their families from right here in our local area! Visit us in the center lobby after either service on 12/01/24 & 12/08/24 to find out how YOU can bless a child this Christmas.
We always welcome more volunteers to help facilitate this ministry!
FIRST IMAGE
First Image believes that every person conceived is made in the Image of God. Help us uphold the personhood of our neighbors by supporting our family of ministries that includes three local pregnancy centers, a post-abortion healing ministry and a sexual integrity program for youth. You can help mothers and fathers facing unsupported pregnancy, the children they carry, and many more by making new baby baskets, volunteering in a center, helping at events, and much more!
THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS
Every year, we provide families and individuals the means to enjoy a nice holiday style meal for Thanksgiving.

GLOBAL IMPACT
Our vision of eradicating hopelessness with the relentless love of Jesus extends beyond the borders of our own community. We are equally committed to building strategic partnerships around the globe to meet people’s needs and spread the good news of Jesus’ love. These are some of our faithful ministries and individuals that we are honored to partner with and support.
