Mission: To show people that they are deeply valued and that we all have something to give. Every person wants to know they are loved and that they matter. Grace Klein Community strives to live out community as a verb, providing people a forum to share what they have so everyone has what they need. Different ways to share are as unique as all of the different people who are part of a healthy community… we can give and take time, resources, money, talents, encouragement, knowledge, work, listening, and on and on. Community means trusting that you belong to others as much as they belong to you, so that we care for one another as much as we care for ourselves. When we live in a way that demonstrates “my plenty meets your need so in turn, your plenty meets mine, ” then we have the power of Christ’s love to change the world.
