Our Faith in Action
Grace Place for Children and Families is an educational nonprofit organization guided by our faith-based core values. The idea of grace comes from the generosity of God. Grace Place expresses this generosity as an educational center that provides pathways out of poverty through educating children and families. A large number of our donors and volunteers come to Grace Place through their faith communities. We seek to offer opportunities for people to put their faith into action, just as the book of James teaches us: “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?” (James 2:14). Volunteers and donors have abundant opportunity to fulfill their faith through welcoming the stranger (Hebrews 13:2), feeding the poor (John 21:17), and transforming lives.
Grace Place does not proselytize. This means that we will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith. The mission of Grace Place is to put our faith into action – providing pathways out of poverty by educating children and families. What a wonderful way to fulfill the greatest commandments, to love God and neighbor! Our vision is that all families have access to education to break the cycle of poverty.
