One-third of the offering given to the Council for American Indian Ministries and the remaining two-thirds supporting UCC justice ministries. In 2025 the Neighbors in Need Offering supported 26 grant recipients across the UCC who were engaged in projects of direct service and advocacy.

Our book club meets twice per month on the second and fourth Saturday of the month, at 10:00am. We read many genres of books from historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, non-fiction and best sellers. We have a diverse mix of attendees and welcome everyone! To save costs, many of the books we read are obtained through the local library lending program for book clubs. Please join us for coffee, snacks and books!
Grace UCC has partnered with seven other area churches as volunteers at Mary Martha's Thrift Store in Wentzville. Please join us if you have a few hours to share.

Please join Pastor Jim along with a group of members and friends at noon on the last Thursday of each month, for fellowship, conversation, Bible study, along with your brown bag lunch. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and share in our faith. We'd love to see you there!
Social Justice is defined as equal rights, opportunities and treatment for all, regardless of race, economic status, or identity. Social justice also calls for people to address inequities in political, social, and economic systems. The Church's view is to help those within marginalized communities, support our right to vote, do what we can to support climate change, healthcare and LGBTQ+ persons. It's within this view that Grace UCC, as an open and affirming congregation, has formed a Social Justice team, following in the footsteps of the greater UCC church.
Our Grace UCC Social Justice Team keeps up-to-date with current events, networks within our community and attends events pertaining to our goals. Our team meets monthly. We meet on the last Sunday of the month following service. Please join us.
Three times per year, we meet in our church parking lot and prepare to collect trash along a one mile stretch of road in front of Grace Church. The crew of ten people have gloves, trash bags, and brightly colored vests as we clean the areas around the road to beautify our community. We also tidy the church property on these days. The next clean up day is October 3rd at 10:00am. Please join us!
Our Men's Group breakfast is not just for the men! We meet on the first Saturday of each month. Everyone is welcome to join at the Golden Corral in O'Fallon at 8:00am for fellowship, good food and conversation.
