Grace Community Church

Our Mission Statement

In a nutshell, Grace Community Church exists to develop Biblically grounded followers of Christ who:

• EXALT the living God in worship.
• EXPLORE the Word of God in study.
• ENCOURAGE the family of God in fellowship.
• EXTEND the love of God in outreach.

How we'll fulfill our mission

Our Vision

Our vision is to fulfill God's mission for Grace Community Church of developing Biblically grounded followers of Christ within a community of believers by:

• Welcoming spiritual seekers.
• Incorporating them into the body.
• Grounding them in the faith.
• Building them to maturity.
• Equipping them for ministry.

This is the process we seek to involve people in - the steps we encourage every person we encounter to take.

Beliefs

We do believe that a church's membership should share a firm commitment to a number of areas that constitute the "core" of the faith (the "majors"). These would certainly include, though not necessarily be limited to, the Godhead (the Trinity), the nature of Jesus Christ, His work in providing substitutionary atonement in His death and resurrection, salvation by faith apart from human effort, and a commitment to the full inspiration and authority of the Scriptures. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these or other areas with you.

Please see our Bylaws booklet (available in the church office) for a fuller discussion of how we handle the matter of differing beliefs in these areas and for a more detailed statement of faith.
