Freely we've received. Freely we give.
Empowered by Grace helps ordinary believers live undivided — and carries that grace into the streets of Los Angeles with urgency, generosity, and love.
We are not the light.
We are the lampstand
that holds Him up.
One life, undivided — and given away.
Empowered by Grace is a California nonprofit religious corporation rooted in Los Angeles. We exist to help believers worship Christ in every part of life, and to love our neighbors in tangible, everyday ways.
Our work grows on two branches held together as one. Ministry pours into believers through discipleship, prayer, teaching, and encouragement. Mission serves our neighbors directly — food and essential needs, advocacy, community, and care for the overlooked.
We don't replace the local church; we send people deeper into her. And we keep an open door with a narrow road: the light shines to everyone, while the way of the cross is carried by those who choose to take it up.
Urgency. Generosity. Love.
Urgency
The need on our streets is real and it is now. We move today, because "when you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to Me."
Generosity
We cannot be out-given, because God cannot be out-given. What is received is never hoarded — it is released, again and again.
Love
Not serving from above, but building community alongside — until belonging itself becomes the witness that points to Christ.
How grace takes hands and feet.
These are the ways Empowered by Grace shows up for our neighbors right now — with more forming as the vision grows.
Your Neighbor
Don't Deny Your Neighbor
Care packages for the unhoused of Los Angeles — snacks, water, warm socks, hygiene kits, power banks, gift cards, and a handwritten note. Every encounter treats a person's story with dignity, and every photo points to God's provision, never to ourselves.
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for Me." — Matthew 25:40
Neighbor
Love Thy Neighbor
Shared meals and storytelling that build real community with the poor, the overlooked, and the lonely — not serving from a distance, but sitting at the same table until the room's love overflows into action.
"When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind." — Luke 14:13
Jehovah Jireh
A giving ministry and support for community businesses — "The Lord provides."
Community Garden
Self-sufficiency and a living picture of grace, received and grown.
Healing & Advocacy
Whole-person care — body and soul — through prayer and medical wisdom.
Your gift becomes socks, meals, and dignity.
Every dollar goes to work on the streets of Los Angeles. Give securely below — 100% of your gift reaches the mission through Zeffy, with no platform fees taken out.
