English as a Second Language (ESL)

Grace offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to those in our community seeking to develop and refine their English skills. Click here for current class schedule information.

Interested in volunteering with ESL? You don’t need to speak another language—just a heart for building relationships and creating a welcoming space for people in our community. Reach out to Paul at esl@umcgrace.org or click the link below to learn more.

Transition Ministry

Collection of coats and blankets

This ministry helps those who are transitioning from one life situation to another. The Grace Transition Ministry organized and planned a coat and blanket drive for those in need. The group also collected a van-load of books to donate.

Early morning at Labor Finders

The Grace Transition Ministry also supports Labor Finders, a business in Manassas that helps hard-working people find temporary work in various fields.
Periodically, we offer a hot breakfast, toiletries, and clothing to the people who are at Labor Finders looking for work.

Partnering with Ukraine

Grace has partnered with the ministry of St. John’s church in Lviv, Ukraine for many years and continues to support them through gifts, love, and prayer. These are pictures of Pastor Volodya and some church members. They have been working tirelessly since the war began to house, feed, and assist refugees in numerous ways as they pass through Lviv on the way out of the country.

For more information about any of Grace’s Mission and Service opportunities, please contact our Director of Youth Ministries and Missions here or call 703-361-7800.

Additional Opportunities to Serve

Serving at SERVE

One of the ways Mark and June Kohler engage with Grace through their service is by donating and serving pizza at the SERVE homeless shelter once a month. It started back in 2018 when Pastor Janet Salbert challenged the congregation after her sermon “to get out of our comfort zone” and go out and help someone.

Red Cross Blood Drive

Grace UMC continues to partner with the Red Cross to hold blood drives in our Fellowship Hall. This is a great way that we regularly serve our community. Click here for upcoming Blood Drives at Grace.

Here are a couple photos from the most recent blood drive.
