Bible Study
KNOW -Periscope -1500 Principles to Live By
All too often the average Christian sitting in the pew lacks a solid Biblical Worldview. We hear the basics of the Christian faith but lack the understanding of how they apply to our everyday life. Millions of believers never move beyond the "baby" stage of their Christian life. Each one of these resouces will inform, exhort and challenge the follower of Christ to a higher level of maturity in their faith.
Care Ministry
Crisis 101 - Crisis Care - Victory "Overcoming Trials of Life"
Navigating the trials of life can be overwhelming to many believers. We can become locked in a cycle of fear, sorrow, anger, and despair. God has granted us the power to overcome but we lack the knowledge and courage to grasp that helping hand. These three resources are Bible-based, time-tested, and include practical instructions on how to navigate those difficulties and to help others do the same. They are an absolute essential for any Care Ministry Team.
Church Growth
100X - Measure of Spiritual Maturity - Evangelism 101
Healthy churches grow, that's it. How do you measure the health of your church and its members? What do you do if your church is stagnant or plateaued? The answers, as always, are in God's Word and the examples there. All three of these series, especially Evangelism 101, give solid, practical solutions to promote, maintain, and expand growth, both individually and corporately.
Discipleship
Fathering 101 - Periscope - KNOW - Evangelism 101- Christar
What is "discipleship"? A disciple is one who follows after the Master, they listen intently and apply the teaching, they imitate and build their life to stature of the one they follow. The American church, for the most part, is great at getting spectators, but is often falling far short in creating disciples. Discipleship is hard, it takes time, effort, and sacrifice. These resources, especially Evangelism 101 take a giant step in helping churches move the spectator to the true follower.
Family
Family 101 - Lessons from the Tackle Box - Fathering 101 - Marriage 101
Family is the backbone of society and the Church. For more than 60 years the American church has observed, and sometimes contributed to, the decline of the nuclear family. The strength and structure is slowly, but surely, being beaten down, ridiculed and redefined. These four tools can help bring stability, encouragement, and hope to our struggling homes.
Grief Counseling
Crisis 101 - Crisis Care - TheVictory "Overcoming Trials"
Loss, pain, grief, sorrow and even despair can quickly come upon anyone. God knows our grief and He knows what we need to heal and overcome. In our troubled world there are times that can be overwhelming and we need a helping hand. Sometimes life just make make sense and we need some answers.All of these resources are perfect for groups, one-on-one sessions, and for individual counseling and training.
Home Schooling
In Search of the Heroes - Periscope - Christar
Home-Schooling has been popular for years and is becoming one of major tools the Christian family is using to bring up their children in the “way of the Lord”. The onslaught of social media, anti-Christian bias, and the ineffectiveness of public schools are a few of the many reasons parents have decided that the home is the very best option. Recent statistics note that at least 2.5 million children are currently educated at home. Home-school families will love these resources.
Marriage
Marriage 101 - Lessons from the Tackle Box - Fathering 101
God created marriage and defines it very clearly in Genesis. Changing culture has started to erode and even attempts to eradicate this basic union of man and woman. Couples struggle to maintain a strong and healthy relationship that is under attack from many different directions. Each one of these amazing series is designed to strengthen that bond and help couples stand against the culture and temptation.
Men
Fathering 101 - Lessons from the Tackle Box - Measure of a Man Part 1 & 2 - Your Work Matters to God
Are you concerned about the spiritual health of the men in your church? TAKE HEART!! Grace Ministries specializes in effective, practical resources that will change the face of your Men's Ministry. Discipling men is challenging but absoutely essential for a healthy, growing church. Men need more than a monthly breakfast gathering. Wives, children, grandchildren, and the Church are desperate for men of God to rise up and grasp their God-given role.
Outreach
Crisis 101 - 100X - Christar - Evangelism 101
The last words of Jesus as He ascended to Heaven were prefaced by "Go Ye". Reaching out into the community, building relationships with neighbors, and creating scenarios for believer-unbeliever interaction can be messy, time-consuming, and a bit scary. We can be lulled into safe, comfortable Christianity that shuts us off from those that desperately need the Gospel. All of these tools are designed to help churches find a way to reach others for Christ.

Small group meetings are at the core of most church ministries. Whether at the church, in the home, or a local restaurant, small group studies are a central part of building relationships and discipling. Most of Grace Ministries resources fit the criteria of a small group study, those listed are currently the most popular. Family 101, Hymnody 101, Lessons from the Tackle Box, and many others give a plethora of options for leaders.

Women
Blessings from the Heart - Crisis Care - Your Work Matters to God - Crisis 101 - Always Near
Women are the backbone of the church. Let's be honest, without their dedication, sacrifice, and service nearly every ministry in most chruches would crumble. While Grace Ministries specializes in Marriage, Men's, and Crisis resources, we do offer several that work very, very well with women's groups. For example, Blessings from the Heart, reaches out to the nurturing core of womanhood and helps them express that in written form.
Youth
Periscope - In Search of Heroes - KNOW - Christar - Evangelism 101
The younger generation is falling away from the church in record numbers. Just 10% of college age students attend church regularly once they leave home. Anti-Christian messages bombard through TV, radio, online streaming, social media, and peers that overwhelm young believers and create doubt. A Biblical Worldview is absolutely essential. Sadly, many churches opt to entertain rather than equip. These tools help lay the foundation to not only survive, but florish.
