The Event
Join us for a morning of fun, and to support the Grace Bible Church missions team with an untimed 5k Walk/Run at Grace Bible Church.
5k too much? There will be a turnaround point halfway if you get there and don't think you can finish the full 5k.
Unable to run but still want to contribute? Select the DONATE button below.
Miles for Missions is an opportunity to help church members move beyond simply hearing about missions to personally experiencing what God is doing around the world.
Funds raised will help offset travel expenses for individuals to visit and serve alongside our ministry partners on the field. These trips provide opportunities to encourage our partners, deepen relationships, see firsthand how God is working among the nations, and return home better equipped to pray, give, serve, and mobilize others.
Every mile traveled has the potential to strengthen our partnership in the Gospel and inspire greater participation by the entire Grace Bible Church in God’s mission.
