L A C E
Ladies Association for Christian Education
Chapter at Schrader Lane Church of Christ
Everyone involved in this ministry, either as a benefactor or beneficiary will experience the blessings of Christ!
​History
In 1989, the idea of LACE, for Schrader Lane Church of Christ was born after many seeds had been planted over the years. The initial seeds germinated after a 1988 missionary trip to Nigeria. After much discussion and groundwork, from the elders and the sisters of Schrader Lane Church of Christ, it was agreed to have a Schrader Lane Church of Christ LACE Chapter!
​
On November 3, 1990, the Schrader Lane Church of Christ, LACE Chapter, became a reality! Sis. Cleo Bell was the first President of this ministry. The ministry has been thriving for over 30 years and still going very strong! The LACE chapter provides the feminine perspective and support of mission work that started in Nigeria and now focuses its efforts helping female students in Cameroon and Port-de-Paix in Haiti.

LACE MISSION
STATEMENT

The Ladies Association for Christian Education (LACE) exists to promote and support Christian principle and quality education for female students in foreign countries.
LACE VALUES
We believe our first responsibility is to Christ in obeying His Word and responding to the needs of others with commitment and compassion. We will provide support through a broad spectrum of activities emphasizing Christian principle and quality education.
We are responsible to our leaders - the elders, deacons and officers who enable and empower us to be supportive to others through LACE. We respect our leaders' decisions, recognize their merit and value their contribution to LACE.
We will appropriately respond to their direction and guidance.
