“Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized-whoever.  I didn’t take on their way of life.  I kept my bearings in Christ-but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view.  I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is, in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life.  I did all this because of the Message.  I didn’t just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!” 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 (MSG)

“We are a kingdom focused ministry that uses exercise-for the Spirit, Soul and Body-as our tool.  It’s true that everyone truly does need exercise in his/her life…but unfortunately that debate will continue on forever and we are not here to prove or disprove it.  However, there is no debate in the truthful fact that EVERYONE needs Jesus” -Integrity & Grace

At its core, Integrity and Grace is missional.  It is a ministry committed to serving the Body of Christ, and to sharing the Good News of the Gospel to all who have ears to hear.  As Integrity & Grace missionaries, we share a gift with our students that is both 100% solid in biblical foundation and 100% solid in physical foundation.  The practice brings us closer to our Savior, and we pray, brings our participants continued wholeness and peace in their lives.  We overflow with love for Him and for this opportunity He has divinely created, and give Him all of the glory, honor and praise.
