At
Grace Church of DuPage we exist to
magnify the worth of God by exalting his name, equipping the saints and evangelizing the lost. One
way this is accomplished is when the local church, acting in
obedience, sends its members to make disciples of the
nations. These members are missionaries, or "sent
ones," who go with authority preaching, baptizing and
teaching others. Our objective in missions at Grace Church
of DuPage is to plant churches and strengthen existing local
churches.
Grace Church
plays an active role in the preparation and sending of
missionaries. It is our firm belief that there should be a
strong tie between the local church and the mission field.
