“When I first started visiting Grace, the first two things that stood out to me were the friendliness of Grace’s people and the care and concern members show our greater Richmond community. Through these past 10+ years, since becoming a member, the generosity of this church continues to inspires me.
— Kathy Berry, Chair of Deacons
The 2026 Mission Market
is Sunday, October 25th!
Over 17 years ago, Grace Baptist Church was introduced to the Missions Market by Barbara Scott. She came to Grace in 2005, and having understood the importance of relationships established with community partners and the power of connecting the congregation to the life-changing work of its partner organizations doing work we care about deeply. Barbara saw an opportunity to help Grace grow in its generosity and participation in mission work beyond the building. In 2009, with Jim Rothrock's blessing and support as the Chair of Missions, the first GBC Mission's Market was hosted!
This year, all are invited to give to any of our Mission Market partners through November 8, and we especially encourage engaging with our newest ministry partners: St. Thomas Food & Wellness Pantry and Community in Schools. We plan to share more stories highlighting how our partners in ministry are directly engaged in providing basic needs.
Our partners continue to work very hard, often with limited resources, to care for our community and the world. Let’s show them some extra support and gratitude as we give generously this year!
Thank you for your interest in this year’s Mission Market
and for the many ways you extend generosity to our community and beyond.
