Community Cafe is the primary outreach ministry of Grace Communion Nashville. Every Sunday, at 12:30 p.m., immediately after our worship service, at 1401 Lischey Ave. in East Nashville, we normally gather in the fellowship hall to eat a home cooked meal with folks from our neighborhood. Lately, we have been limited to carry-out meals due to the pandemic.

The purpose of this meal is to feed the hungry. There is no other motive and no other criteria. Anyone who is hungry and would like to sit down and eat with us is welcome to do so: rich or poor, believer or non-believer, all are welcome. Most weeks we have about 10 people from our congregation and about 10-15 people from our community, some of whom are homeless and some of whom simply live nearby and enjoy eating with us.

You are welcome to visit us just for Community Cafe and enjoy a free, home cooked meal!

Other outreach ministry projects we are involved with are:

Supporting Crossing Borders missions to Mexico who helps various communities along the US border. In 2020 we helped provide over $900 to be used by a children’s home and an orphanage run by our GCI partners in Mexico.

Collecting boxed and canned food items 2 times a year which are donated to East Nashville Cooperative Ministry. This ministry provides food boxes to neighbors who are in need.
