Grace Central’s Young Beautiful Soul’s Pageant is a fundraiser on behalf of the Youth Ministry for Grace Central’s Capital Campaign Fund.
The soul is our passion, desire, intellect, emotions, and our will. It is who we are as human beings. A person with a Beautiful Soul is one with a kind loving nature, displays confidence, they are genuine, balanced, and understanding. They are positive and giving. People with Beautiful souls make others feel safe and at peace.. They practice self-love and love others as well. Their energy is radiant and completely contagious. In addition to raising funds, we want to teach our young ladies that their true beauty resides in their soul.
