Mission at Grace

Located three blocks north of the Rio Grande border with Mexico, Project Vida builds affordable low-income rental housing, provides high quality, low cost healthcare, creates homelessness prevention and recovery programs, develops and provides early-childhood education program, offers dynamic after-school enrichment, and provides microenterprise technical assistance and support.

Partnering with Abara, this foundation of our Presbytery works to ensure the honest narratives surrounding immigration, migration, and refugees are heard, those who want to learn more have the opportunity to do so, and encourage all to walk with those who are already hard at work along our border with Mexico.

The El Paso del Norte Sara McKnight Transitional Living Center provides a bridge to successful independence for women who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness, especially for survivors of domestic, sexual, or other forms of violence. There they can find case management, counseling, financial empowerment services, job search assistance, and educational opportunities, while building self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others.

We are overjoyed to house Desert Bloom Montessori within our Grace Campus. This small preschool offers quality education for our youngest neighbors.

Each year, our church partners with local prisons to support the families of local prisoners with encouragement and love. Our partnership serves to strengthen the relationships between those parents who are in prison and their children and to support their families as a whole with hope. 

In collaboration with our Lutheran siblings, we partner with our ELCA friends down the road for larger distribution efforts. 

Located just over the U.S.-Mexico border, this non-profit promotes social and humanitarian work that proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Founded in 1987 by the co-founders of Annunciation House, Las Americas has served over 50,000 people from over 77 countries, advocating for a robust asylum system and seeking systemic change to U.S. immigration policy and practices, while also working to reunify separated families. 

Throughout the year, we have a "Little Food Pantry" and "Little Library" housed on Grace's campus that are open 24-7.
