About Us
our mission
Our mission is family— we seek intimacy with a Good Father as priority and exist to cultivate healthy individuals and families who impact the world around them with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
About grace
Grace is a congregation rooted in the love of God and committed to seeing the Great Commission fulfilled locally, regionally and globally.
Prayer is a major part of our spiritual DNA and permeates all we do. The atmosphere at Grace is charged with faith and exuberant joy in a good Father.
It's our goal to make God's love manifest in every area of society as the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our God.
Cornerstones
1
Intimacy is Priority
Close relationship with the Lord empowers us to have healthy relationships with others and an effective impact on the world.
2
Authority of the Bible
The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. Our foundation is His Word.
3
God is Good
Because God is good in every circumstance, we must dream big and make His glory manifest in the earth.
4
The Blood of Jesus Paid for Everything
All that we need was dealt with at the Cross, so we're required to trust Him in everything.
our vision
To be a house of prayer and worship for all nations, to see people delivered from the bondage of sin, disciple them into faithful followers of Jesus and His word, and equip them for their ministry in the church and mission in the world, in order to magnify God's name.
what we believe
There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."
We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.
The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness and torment.
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
In the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride – His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
