Our Missions
Please help Grand Ecore Road Church of Christ support those serving throughout the world as resident missionaries; they sincerely need our prayers. We know that they desire for you to learn how God is working in the lives of those who are hearing His Word for the first time.
As John the disciple wrote in his letter to Gaius, “Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.” (3 John 5-8)
Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort

Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort immediately responds to any major disaster in the continental United States. They contact the leadership of local Churches of Christ in or near a major disaster area. If the leadership says their local congregation wants to help, they send and turn over to that congregation truckloads of emergency food, personal hygiene, infant care, water, cleaning supplies, and pallets of additional basic needs, for them to distribute to the disaster victims. These supplies are to be given to anyone affected by the disaster, regardless of race, creed, origin, gender, or religious preference.
The Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort played a vital role in the Natchitoches community during the floods of 2016. They provided relief and met the needs of several families in need and affected by the floods in our community.
