Grace Mission is an outreach mission of the Diocese of Florida.
Unlike a mission church, which is expected to be self-supporting at
some time in the future, an outreach mission is expected to be
supported by other congregations and the diocese.
Grace Mission has become the church home and anchor in the lives
of many men, women and children who find themselves living at the
homeless shelter, and struggling with poverty and the problems of
addiction. There are after school programs, worship services and
Bible Study times, as well as the practical needs of food and a
place to shower and launder clothing.
As an outreach mission, Grace has an advisory board made up of
communicants from the supporting congregations. Advisory board
members are appointed by the rectors of the supporting
congregations. Qualifications are similar to those for vestry
members in your parish.
Currently the Vicar for Grace Mission is The Rev. Amanda
Nickles. She has brought a new energy and vitality to the
community surrounding Grace Mission located at 303 W. Brevard
Street, Tallahassee, FL 32301.
"Grace Mission helps reach those who are often forgotten in
society: the homeless, poor, underemployed, addicted, people with
AIDs, ... Whether through our feeding program, worship services,
outreaches, afterschool program, Bible study, and many others, we
try to extend "grace upon grace" to all people. We welcome
you to become a part of this vital ministry!" Pastor
Amanda Nickles
