Minding the Gap at Grace Point Church

"What if I told you that something as simple as one hour a week with one child could dramatically change the trajectory of that child and that family's life and then their lineage after them."

This was a presentation about Minding the Gap, a ministry that serves local elementary schools through tutoring, mentoring, and Bible clubs. The meeting featured speakers discussing the importance of small acts of service and how individuals can make a significant impact in their community.
Key Points:

The ministry serves 5 elementary schools in South Kansas City
Last year, they served approximately 750 students and 250 staff members
They have three main program pillars:

1. Building Bridges (tutoring and mentoring)
2. 180 Club (Bible club in public schools)
3. Extra Mile (supporting schools and teachers)

Highlights:

Emphasized that small acts of service can create significant change
Shared personal stories of transformation through community involvement
Discussed the literacy crisis in American schools
Presented statistics about their ministry’s impact
Volunteers shared personal experiences of working with students

The overall message was that everyone can be a “light” in their community by taking small, consistent steps of service and compassion.
