The GMI Missionary Conference is held every two years and brings together all Grace Ministries International (GMI) missionaries and their families from around the world for a time of encouragement, edification, and fellowship.

The STM department supports the conference by sending a dedicated team to care for the missionaries’ children throughout the week. This ministry goes beyond running a traditional VBS, as the team provides structured care and activities for children of all ages throughout much of the day and into the evening, allowing missionaries to fully participate in the conference sessions and fellowship.

Volunteers for this STM are carefully selected, and many return to serve at multiple conferences to maintain meaningful relationships with the missionaries and their children. This year’s GMI Missionary Conference will be hosted in Southern California in conjunction with the 70th Anniversary of Grace Community Church. While the primary conference sessions will take place in Monterey, California, several events will also take place at Grace Community Church as we celebrate this significant milestone together.
