As a part of our vision to reach the least-reached people groups with the gospel of Jesus Christ in the DMV region, our church has identified Bailey’s Crossroads as a community full of people from the “ends of the Earth.” Daniel and Grace, our current Cross-Cultural Outreach Residents, have started a program called Study & Shine to provide academic support for kids in Bailey’s Crossroads as a way to meet a practical need while building relationships in an effort to make Christ known. During the school year, Study & Shine meets on Mondays and Wednesdays to help students with their homework and provide a safe, loving space. Daniel and Grace are looking for volunteers to help in the 2026-2027 school year, so please contact them via email (daniel.deas@greatcommissioncc.org) if you’re interested!
During the summer, Study & Shine happens informally at the park near their apartment on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 7-8pm. So far, an average of 20+ kids have participated! This is very exciting, but it does mean Daniel and Grace need a lot of help. If you’d like to join in, please fill out the form below!
They also host a prayer walk on Saturday mornings at 10am and would love to see you there.
