Love Others
Make a Difference
A fun and welcoming place for kids to grow in faith, build friendships, and discover God’s love. We’d love to have you join us!
Youth Group
Our youth group meets on Wednesday evenings from 6-8 PM. We have an excellent team of adult mentors and teen leaders who serve our youth in a warm, welcoming atmosphere through discipleship, Bible study, service, and fun.
Community Groups
Find Community. Grow Together.
We all need a place to know and be known. Our community groups build one another up in prayer and encouragement as we seek to grow in knowing Jesus and following Him on His mission—to bring the gospel to our communities in both word and deed.
We open God’s Word together, learning how to apply His truth to our daily lives. We care for one another deeply as we partner to make disciples of Jesus.
Groups meet throughout the week in homes or at the church.

Reach Beyond
Prayer
Gospel ministry depends on devotion to prayer. We pray that God would open a door for the word to us and that we would make the gospel clear with words of grace and hearts filled with wisdom (Colossians 4:2-6). We pray that God will regenerate and redeem those that do not yet know Him. We pray along with the other churches of Greater Portland.

- The Rock: Tuesdays at 6:00 PM, Wednesday 12:00 PM, and Thursday 7:30 AM
- Eastpoint: Tuesdays at 6:00 PM and Thursdays at 6:00 AM
- Center Point Church: first Wednesday of the month at 6:00 PM

Nursing Home
“Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God.” – Leviticus 19:32
Our Nursing Home Ministry exists to honor and care for the elderly through monthly visits filled with music, Scripture, and genuine connection. Many residents face loneliness and memory loss, and our time with them brings comfort, joy, and the hope of the Gospel in their later years.
We sing familiar hymns, share short devotionals, hand out puzzles and stuffed animals, and most importantly—spend time listening and loving. Just an hour of your time can make a lasting difference.
No experience is needed—just a heart to serve. Help pass out hymnals, sing along, turn pages, or simply share a smile. Children and youth are also welcome to join and bless residents with their presence or musical talents.
Join us:
Cape Memory Care_ (Cape Elizabeth) – 4th Thursday, 2:00 PM
The Cedars_ (Portland) – 2nd Saturday, 10:30 AM
Whether you come in person or support us in prayer, you are part of this ministry.

Sneakers for Saccarappa
The Saccarappa Elementary School in Westbrook has a large population of children from homes that are economically disadvantaged. Sneakers for Saccarappa exists to reach into this community and provide proper footwear for children’s activities (for children who do not have access to footwear) and to encourage teachers and staff at the school. Staff at the school identify their needs and Community of Grace seeks to help meet those needs. Periodic appeals to the church body for donations of sneakers and socks and monetary donations are made throughout the school year. Our goal is to identify other ways of encouraging the teachers at this school as we build this relationship. There is always an opening for anyone interested in assisting with this process.
CEF of Maine
CEF is a Bible centered, worldwide organization, whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.

There are lots of ways to get involved: bring a meal for the weekly Bible study and encourage the group, become a mentor, provide a welcome gift for new residents, or give financially.
