National Missions

In the first chapter of Acts, Jesus tells his disciples that we will be representatives of Him “in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Here at Graceland we view this as local, national, and international missions.

Just as we are actively reaching our community and the nations with the Gospel, we want to be actively reaching our nation.

Here are some ways that you can be involved in helping to spread the name of Jesus in our nation:
