Church Partnership – Auburn Grace
April 2022
Throughout its history, Auburn Grace Church in California has been missions minded. In recent years, leadership has worked to take it to another level—transforming their missions committee into a “mobilizing the mobilizers” committee. They desire to cultivate a missions mindset in the church body, urging every member to think about their role in global missions. Anyone can contribute to the Great Commission, whether it is by praying, giving, sending, or going!
