Care Ministries
We’re Here to Help
You’re Not Alone
No matter what challenges or hard times you face, you don’t have to face them alone. Your Grace family is here for you.
Benevolence Assistance
Need tangible short-term emergency assistance?
Grace can provide assistance to people in crisis or transition when they’ve exhausted all other possibilities of help from family, friends, and social service providers. Grace staff will facilitate the quickest possible solution for people facing an emergency.
No cash gifts are provided. Instead, Grace will disburse funds directly to recognized businesses on behalf of the person needing assistance. Note: Due to the soaring cost of rent in Chico, it is highly unlikely that we can assist with rent payments.
How to Receive Assistance
Please complete a confidential Benevolence Request form, and one of our Benevolence Team members will be in touch with you within one week.

Christ-Centered Care
When you need help navigating personal, lifestyle, or relational challenges, we can help.
Christian counseling will help you identify Gospel-centered responses to:
- broken marital and family relationships
- crippling grief, anger, or bitterness
- discouragement and despair
- parenting difficulties
- loneliness
We’ll do our best to help you find a caring environment where you can safely discuss how to overcome issues blocking your sense of purpose, productivity, and joy.
Stephen Ministers & Counseling
Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained to offer care to people who are hurting by providing a wide range of emotional and spiritual care. A Stephen Minister typically has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week for about an hour for as long as needed.
Stephen ministers are also trained to determine what type of care a person needs. In some instances, a referral might be made to a biblical counselor (such as a pastor) or to a licensed clinical counselor.
For those seeking counseling or wanting to speak with a Stephen Minister, fill out this confidential form to get started. This information is secure and will only be used provide the best care possible.
