5 things you NEED to know about Grace Church

If I only had 5 minutes to tell you who we are…

1.Grace Church exists to bring glory and honor to God…contrary to popular belief we don’t exist to make much of ourselves, none of us do. We realize God is already glorious no matter what we do or don’t do. Our prayer is that we would respond rightly to this TRUTH in daily offering our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. This is worship.

2.Grace Church genuinely loves people…community isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something that we all crave and as a result we are intentional and committed to creating and cultivating authentic relationships in our church. Church is more than just what happens on Sunday. It’s sharing our lives together. The good, the bad, the ugly. This is Church. This is community.

3.Grace Church preaches and lives out the Gospel of Jesus Christ…we believe that Jesus changes everything. So, we preach this every Sunday. Abundant and eternal life is offered through trusting in Jesus for salvation. Forgiveness is offered through trusting in Jesus for salvation. Right relationship with God and others is possible and available through trusting Jesus for salvation. But, the Gospel isn’t just about words. It is loving and serving the poor. It is caring for the widows and orphans. It is sharing the transforming love of God with family, friends and neighbors. It is making much of Jesus with every breath we breathe. This is outreach.

4.Grace Church wants to see and be change…one of our deepest desires is to see change in our daily lives but also in the life of our City. We long to see relationships healed, addictions crushed, and abuses broken. We believe this happens by being ‘in Christ’. This happens through the Church being the People of God in the world, the hands and feet of Jesus. It happens through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is our vision. This is transformation.

5.Grace Church is about equipping…if you have relationship with Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit you have been given gifts and talents to use for the glory of Father and the good of others. In other words, ministry is not something that should ONLY be done by a few. Grace Church is a place for you to come and grow in the gifts the Spirit has given you. One of our goals is raise up a generation of people who know their gifts, who use their gifts, and as a result are completely satisfied in their relationship with God BECAUSE they are doing what they were created to be and do.

This is who we are. This is what we are about. We’d love for you to come and be a part of what God is already doing here at Grace Church.
