“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matt. 28:19-20 (NIV)

Missions Trips

Grace Baptist has sent missionary groups, comprised of both youth and adults, to various nations around the world on short-term mission trips. Past mission trips include Nova Scotia, Canada; Lebedin and Odessa, Ukraine; Romania; India; Tanzania; Philadephia and New Orleans.  We not only want to support missions financially, but want to be engaged in our missionaries lives and work from Canton and joining with them as God allows.
