Make a Difference
The Grace UMC community knows the difference service can make. Coming alongside others is part of our faith journey. When we serve we better understand what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
The Christmas Eve offering at Grace United Methodist Church will be given to Street Level-Cape Girardeau. The offering will support Street Level's efforts to provide short-stay motel rooms for the unhoused when temperatures drop to dangerous levels. Motel rooms serve as a temporary safety net as there is no permanent shelter in Cape Girardeau
Street Level
We partner with Street Level to provide care for our unsheltered neighbors.
Opportunities to serve include helping provide a hot meal for about fifty people once a month. Tasks include budgeting, shopping, meal planning, meal prep and meal delivery.
​
Donations of gently used clothing and new socks, underwear, knit caps and sturdy gloves are gathered, sorted and delivered to the Street Level clothing pantry.

Cape Central Middle School
Our partnership with Central Middle School provides ample opportunities to support students and staff. Grace UMC members offer their time as tutors and mentors. We take part in "done in a day" activities to care for for the Cape Central community. This is a ministry that has room to grow and see exponential change happen in the lives of Cape Girardeau children and their families
Investing
Throughout our 165+ years, Grace UMC has invested in many programs and organizations that make a difference. A local food pantry, a center that helps families make a fresh start, a program that assists women leaving abusive homes, support for foster families are just some of the ways we have provided people and funding. We know it's important to make investments close to home and around the world.
Scouting
Grace UMC has a decades-long commitment to Scouting. Young people are able to grow in mind, body and spirit and prepare to take their place as members of their communities.
​
Grace supports three scouting groups, a Cub Scout pack for boys and girls, a scout troop for mid-high and high school boys and girls and a scout troop for mid-high and high school boys.
