Project Overview:
Dalton is called the Carpet Capital of the World due to the large number of flooring manufacturers in the city. Dalton is located in the northwest corner of Georgia, about 20 miles south of the Tennessee border. The city and surrounding area has a high Hispanic population (around 40%). Due to the current economic situation we also have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.
God has given Grace Presbyterian Church a vision for reaching Dalton and surrounding areas. A key aspect of this vision is bringing in mission teams to work in the local community. We began hosting mission teams in the summer of 2007 and the ministry has been growing steadily ever since. We are a multi-cultural church with a strong outreach to the Hispanic community, a new medical ministry, and the ongoing work of the construction ministry.
We encourage you to partner with us in these ministries and spread the gospel in Dalton and the surrounding area. You will find the work tiring but very rewarding. We always have projects underway and take teams any time of year.
