GraceWorks is a multifaceted ministry of Green Acres Baptist Church that includes many areas of service to the body of Christ. Because we realize that life offers many changes and challenges, our goal is to assist people as they make their way through these transitions.
In order to meet the needs that people face today in our complex society, GraceWorks offers individual, couple and family counseling. Our goal is to connect people with the Person of Christ and the truths from his Word that guide us through life’s difficult times.
GraceWorks also sponsors Celebrate Recovery! The purpose for this dynamic ministry is to help people deal with life’s “hurts, habits, and hang ups.” If you struggle with substance abuse, co-dependency, sexual addiction or other real-life issues, this is the place for you! With large and small group settings, people help each other to grow through life’s struggles.
Another major focus of GraceWorks is the Marriage and Family Ministry. We provide pre-marital counseling, marriage retreats, Nearly & Newly Bible Study Classes, couples group studies and other opportunities to build homes for God’s glory.
We hope that you will take a few minutes to explore the GraceWorks menu. Get to know our staff, read more about our ministry areas, or even learn how to set up an appointment with one of our counselors. We are here to serve the body of Christ at Green Acres and beyond, and we look forward to ministering to you.
