PLUG-IN TO GRACEHILL!
At GRACEHILL MISSION CHURCH, we believe that church is more than just attending Sunday services. We are convinced that church is about building meaningful relationships and creating a family of believers that are having an impact in each other’s lives and the lives of their communities.
For this reason, we have various ways for you to plug into the GRACEHILL family – starting with being part of a JIRANI TEAM. You can also serve as a VOLUNTEER in one of the ministry teams we have. We hope that as you plug into life at GRACEHILL, you will find the warmth, growth and joy that comes from being part of a great family!
JIRANI TEAMS
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer…
they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those
who were being saved.”
Acts 2:42-47.
Gracehill Mission Church Jirani Teams are:
GROWTH CENTRES
Following in the biblical steps of the early church, we do not just meet in church—we spread out to meet in our homes during the week. Jirani is Swahili for neighbor or neighborhood. Members in the same neighborhood meet together weekly for fellowship, Bible study and ‘catching up.’
We like to see Jirani Teams as our growth centers—here, we learn to love, serve, and know the Lord deeper.
CARE CENTRES
Jirani Teams is the church where everyone is ‘known’. The Jirani Team is a family. While in the larger congregation we may not be able to know everyone and attend to their needs, in the Jirani Teams, we know each other at a personal level, and on a ‘daily basis’. We are able to respond to the needs of one another and to ensure that no family member is left behind—just as it was in the early church.
SERVICE CENTRES
Jirani Teams are vehicles of service. They are involved in the service of the church and community through various ministries. Apart from involvement in our Sunday services and in community outreach, one of the most significant involvements of the Jirani Teams is through the Jirani Kids Agape Platform—a ministry that takes care of needy children in the community, focusing mainly on their educational needs.
