Q. What is GracePointe Cares?
A. GracePointe Cares is our annual day of service initiative. It's our congregation’s chance to serve those in the community around us and share the love of Jesus with Williamsburg. We will have projects taking place throughout the day and throughout the area! The goal is for the ENTIRE church to be out and serving those around us!
Q. When is GracePointe Cares taking place?
A. GracePointe Cares will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Times will vary by project.
Q. How do I contact the leaders of this event, Luke Swanson and/or Chris Neary?
A. Luke can be reached at [email protected] or 443-624-0793. Chris can be reached at 757-810-3290.
Q. Where will GracePointe Cares take place?
A. Projects will happen throughout the Williamsburg area.
Q. What projects are happening during GracePointe Cares?
A. Please see the projects list on the GracePointe app for more information. Projects are subject to change, depending on the number of volunteers willing to take part and/or whether a project leader can be found.
Q. How do I sign up for a project?
A. Sign-up via the online form, accessible via the GracePointe app.
Q. When can I sign up?
A. Sign-up starts on Sunday, August 16 2026.
Q. What happens after I sign up for a project?
A. As the event date (September 19th) gets closer, the project leaders will receive a list of their volunteers and their contact info. They will then reach out to the people on their project with additional details. Project leaders should receive their list of volunteers by September 6th.
Q. What happens if a project doesn’t have a project leader?
A. Leading an event of this size is a lot of work and trying to coordinate several projects from the top is inefficient. Each project needs to have its own project leader; this person is the point of contact for the people working that project and helps ensure a smooth event when the day arrives. For that reason, only projects that have project leaders will be a part of GracePointe Cares.
Q. What if I need childcare? Are kids allowed to volunteer?
A. We will be providing childcare for children 5 and under during the event. Children 6 and older are encouraged to serve with their parents, wherever feasible. Children responsible enough to serve on their own are encouraged to complete a separate sign-up form and select their project. Children that will be serving with their parent can be listed as part of their parent’s sign-up form.
Q. Why aren’t there more new projects this year?
A. Sometimes we have ideas but can’t figure out a realistic way to make them into a project. Sometimes we have a project but we can’t figure out a cost effective way to make it happen. Sometimes we have a project that’s ready to go, but we cannot find the right leader. Most often, there are great project ideas but we just haven’t thought of them. If you have an idea for a potential project, regardless of whether you would be interested in leading the project,
please reach out to Luke/Chris to discuss. Even if it’s not something that can be included in this year’s event,
we are always looking for ways to expand our reach and to help others in the future.
Q. What if I have interest in leading a project in the future?
A. We would love to speak with you! Please reach out to Luke/Chris to discuss!
Q. Will we be doing t-shirts for the event?
A. That’s the plan! The hope is that everyone still has their shirts from previous years and are ready to go! However, if you have not received a shirt, we will provide you with one this year. Just indicate that you need one when filling out your sign-up sheet. Also, if you received a shirt last year but need a new one this year for some reason, please contact Luke or Chris to discuss.
Q. You didn’t answer my question here, what do I do??
A. Please contact Luke Swanson or Chris Neary for more information!
