Relationships

Grace Fellowship’s vision as a church is to be a house of prayer for all nations. Our Mission is to make disciples whose hearts burn for the Great Exchange, the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission. The foundation for disciple-making at Grace Fellowship is relationships; we will relationally make disciples who in turn are themselves relational disciple-makers. And this starts with the staff. Each of us will incorporate a relational approach to everything that we do, and we will each consistently seek to perform our defined roles relationally; each of us will daily pursue our job within the context of being a relational disciple-maker.

Vocationally, the Facilities/Maintenance Technician reports to the Facilities Director and will interact with staff, church members, volunteers and, in some cases, vendors, with the constant focus on helping us create and maintain a first-class campus.
