1 Thessalonians 2:7-12,  "But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having thus a fond affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us. For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers; just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.”

The discipleship ministries of Grace Chapel grow out of an understanding that those who are made whole in Jesus Christ are to give of themselves in sacrificial ways as they speak the Word of God to the lives of others. Discipling others flows from a desire to please God, a love for His Word, and a concern for others. Paul, in his example for ministry, said he was so fond of the Thessalonian believers that he was not content to only preach the gospel to them, but to also give his life to them. He was willing to be inconvenienced in his own life in order to help them be all that God wanted them to be. In teaching and in living, we desire to help others come to Christ and live for Christ to the glory of God the Father. We do this in a variety of ways.

• Men’s Ministries - Various Bible teaching and fellowship venues throughout the year encourage our men to pursue God and His Word with single-hearted devotion. Some of these opportunities include small group studies, men’s prayer breakfast, Fall Fling (an outdoor ministry for men in October), and informal opportunities to use spiritual gifts in ministering to others.
   
• Women’s Ministries – Various Bible teaching and fellowship venues throughout the year encourage our women, many of whom meet on a regular basis including selected “Precept Studies” during the school year, different studies in homes as announced, and “First Fridays” (a Titus 2 women’s group meeting the first Friday of each month).
   
• Prime Timers - A ministry especially involving the Senior Adults of Grace Chapel, primarily for the purpose of Christian fellowship and mutual encouragement.
   
• Evangelistic Bible Studies – Informally, as an outreach to our community, we provide in-home Bible studies designed to teach the gospel for those who are interested in understanding Christianity.
   
• Cobeac Ministry – Camp Cobeac is Grace Chapel’s church camp facility, a 26 acre camp near West Liberty made available for specific venues of discipleship, evangelism, and fellowship.
