The Personal Ministries of the Grace Seventh-day Adventist® Church exists to provide resources and training to church and community members alike in personal evangelism, discipleship, giving Bible studies, and other types of outreach ministries. It is our mission to enlist every member (Total Member Involvement) in active soul-winning activities to advance the final proclamation of the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. We believe it is through personal effort, fellowship, and deep study that people longing for hope amidst calamities, despair, and uncertainties can find peace and comfort by becoming intimately acquainted with a loving God.

Numerous resources and publications exist through our church to educate and nurture the spiritual growth of all who are interested in learning more. Some of the resources and training we currently have available to empower individuals in Personal Ministries include:

• Bible study guides for personal use and/or sharing with others,
