Dollar Club

  
    

Our small investment individually makes a huge impact collectively.

Because we want to impact lives as we help people meet, follow, and share Jesus, everyone at Grace Fellowship has the opportunity once a month to partner with either families, special projects, local organizations or global organizations by giving $1 each! If every person that attends participates, we can make a huge impact collectively.
