WELCOME TO THE CENTER

nurturing children, strengthening families, building community

Our community is a diverse, unique blend of people from backgrounds spanning class, race, culture, and language. The Center of Grace sits in the heart of downtown Olathe, an ideal location for programs that benefit our whole community – from the most vulnerable in need of basic services, to those looking to bring self-sufficiency and stability to their lives. Inspired by faith and empowered by our many community partnerships, our mission is to build relationships that lead to lasting change for our city.

Our programs

a few of the ways we serve

Boys and Girls Club provides a safe place for students before and after school and on school breaks. Currently, the Olathe Unit serves 150 students in our community.

Clothing Closet

ELL Preschool

This program provides an opportunity for children of adult ESL students to learn English and prepare for Kindergarten in an environment designed to fit their needs.

CENTER OF GRACE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

The Mabee Foundation has given a $1 million challenge grant toward our $6 million campaign to renovate and expand our facilities, and Grace United Methodist Church has pledged $2 million. That means we have until July of 2020 to raise $3 million. Here is how you can help:

A pledge of only $120/month for 5 years (a total of $7,000) will make a space at the Center of Grace through Boys and Girls Club.
Help us meet the challenge and make a difference for the children in our community. You have a wonderful opportunity to change a child’s future!

We appreciate donations of every amount. Questions? Please call Pastor Sylvia or Betty at 764-1353 or click the GIVE NOW button and choose the Growing with Grace Capital Campaign.
