Mission Statement
Enduring By Grace Ministries is a nonprofit religious organization that seeks to bring hope to the hurting with emphasis on those who are grieving. We aim to do this from a Biblical perspective through teachings on our website and would like to grow so we can expand our resources so we can financially contribute to those who need financial aid for funeral expenses.

Inspiration
This is the inspiration behind Enduring By Grace Ministries. A mom, a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. To me, she is mom. She raised me to be a woman strong in faith and always taught me to "pray about it". She kept her faith until the very end and I admire her for it more and more everyday. I am so blessed that she raised me.
Elizabeth Christine
Founder
Hi! I'm Elizabeth Christine, the founder (and author) of Enduring By Grace Ministries. I'm praying that God will use me in big ways and bless this ministry as I feel this is my calling.
A little bit more about me:
I graduated from Liberty University with my B.S. in Religion: Christian Leadership so that I am equipped to lead this ministry well. I always knew I wanted to major in religion but EBGM gave me my purpose in my specific concentration. I've been accepted into their master's program (which would be considered seminary) which is something I would like to pursue when funds are available. I love learning so anything I learn and do is to benefit the ministry the Lord has placed on my heart. I pray that the Lord equips me to be a good steward of both knowledge and monetary possessions.
This ministry is my heart as it stems from a personal matter of my heart. My mom passed away in 2015 when I was 20 years old and she was 40. The unexpected passing of my mom shaped my life in such a way that I want to help others who have experienced a similar situation and just walk alongside those who can use some hope in their darkest moments.
I currently serve at Emmanuel Reformed Church in various ministries:
-
I aid in leading a Grief Share group
-
I lead a small group of middle school young women
-
I teach Sunday School during our noon service
-
I and my husband co-lead a couples class small group
-
I co-lead a discipleship group of young adults alongside my husband
