Missions
We at Gray Avenue Church support many missions. We are planning on a hand on mission trip in the summer of 2010. Join us and help to bless others and you will be blessed as well. Below is a list of Missions we Support.
CEM is succinctly described in the phrase which accompanies our logo, "Tending lives... Training leaders." At the beautiful Christian Encounter Ranch, we have a residential counseling/discipleship ministry for troubled young people (male and female) ages 16-25.
These young people come voluntarily. They have backgrounds which include all kinds of abuse, drugs, family problems, etc. Residents stay at the ranch three months to two years and receive professional Christian counseling, discipleship, schooling if necessary, fellowship, love, and plenty of one-on-one attention. They adhere to a disciplined schedule and are expected to work hard.
