Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
At Grace Hope Church, missions are at the heart of who we are. We believe Jesus calls us to make disciples both locally and globally, and we’re passionate about sharing His love in practical ways.
What We Do:
Whether it’s across the street or across the globe, our mission is the same: to bring the hope of Jesus to every person, everywhere.
What We Do:
- Global Support – We partner with and support missionaries serving around the world, helping spread the Gospel to unreached communities.
- Local Outreach – We invest in ministries that impact our own community, meeting needs and sharing hope right here in Xenia and the surrounding area.
- Mission Trips – We send teams—both youth and adults—on short-term trips to places like South Dakota, Michigan, West Virginia, and beyond, where we serve, build relationships, and share the love of Christ.
Whether it’s across the street or across the globe, our mission is the same: to bring the hope of Jesus to every person, everywhere.



Active Missionaries
The Agora Group - Randy Young
Agora is called to mobilize personnel and prayer, specifically targeting the least reached and never reached on the planet. With multiple global partners, tribes and nations are hearing the name of Jesus, and his church is being established. Our mobilization passion and calling is to three fold: 1) to introduce the next generation to the Great Commission, discipling them through local service projects, service-learning events, and cross-cultural missions camps, 2) to inspire, equip, and send pioneer missionaries and teams, and 3) to train indigenous leaders to plant the church among Unreached People Groups.
