LOCAL PARTNERS

Volunteers from our church help at Adams Elementary through their reading program, Friday Bulldog hugs and other school events to support the children and their families.  Adams Elementary is one of three ministry recipients of GCPC’s Bags of Hope donations.

FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference by challenging coaches and athletes to impact the world for Christ through the powerful medium of athletics. FCA has opened eight “huddles” in several local high schools; they also sponsor summer camps for Yakima athletes.

As one church, Gracia de Cristo and Grace of Christ, we offer a ministry of restoration to families in need in our community; families with low income; the elderly; and, to brothers and sisters with disabilities.  Our desire is to bring the Love of Jesus into their homes & lives by repairing and painting doors, windows and other places around their homes as well as removing old and broken items & the accumulation of extra material that are no longer in use.

The independent living apartments provide housing for 150 low income seniors 62 and older.  As our neighbors they enjoy fellowship activities and occasionally need assistance.  They look forward to our summer Lemonade on the Lawn and our annual Thanksgiving meal.

Sacred Road started out as a hopeful church plant outreach of the Presbyterian Church of America in 2003, named Hope Fellowship.  Since then it has grown beyond that simple goal in an effort to serve the Yakama Nation in the White Swan/Harrah area. Hope Fellowship now has a regular congregation of over 140 people on Sunday mornings and a very active and vibrant youth group on Tuesday evenings. Sacred Road reaches out to the poor and needy in their community through multiple ways which include: transportation, Food Ministry, Children and Youth ministries, Firewood program, Youth After School Program, Discipleship Groups, Summer and Christmas ministries, Economic Development programs, as well as a Screen Printing Vocational Program.

The Trailseekers organization is a Christian outreach to children & youth who are in at-risk situations. Trailseekers serves elementary kids in after-school programs, teaching them about God and the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Students can continue in Trailseekers through its middle and high school leadership groups where the three “R”s are stressed: Responsibility, Respect and Relationships.
