A Los Angeles nonprofit ministry

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.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." Matthew 28:19

We are not the light.
We are the lampstand
that holds Him up.

Who we are

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.

Come each morning with empty hands and be filled with His Spirit — then freely give what you've freely received.

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.

What moves us

Urgency. Generosity. Love.

01

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."

02

Generosity

We cannot be out-given, because God cannot be out-given. What is received is never hoarded — it is released, again and again.

03

Love

Not serving from above, but building community alongside — until belonging itself becomes the witness that points to Christ.

The work, in the streets

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.

In the streets now

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

The Gathering

A place to belong on a Friday night.

A movement isn't finally built on programs — it's built on a people who belong to each other and to Christ. If you want to build with us, share input, or just have a place to be, tap in.

"For where two or three gather in My name, there am I with them." — Matthew 18:20

Fridays · 7–9 PM

Fellowship, honest conversation, and presence — an open door with room for anyone. Reach out and we'll tell you where and when to come.
