| At Grace, we are committed to: |
| Grace |
We believe that salvation is
a gift of grace for all who receive Christ by faith (Ephesians
2:8-9, John 1:12, Romans 10:9-10). We desire each one to be
absolutely sure they are forgiven, right with God, and ready
for heaven (John 5:13). |
| |
| Growth |
We believe that authentic Christianity
results in spiritual growth (Colossians 2:6-7). Communion
with God through scripture, prayer, worship, and small groups
are all catalysts for advancing in love for God and allowing
the Holy Spirit to make us more like Christ (Ephesians 5:1-2).
|
| |
| Small Groups |
We believe that small groups
represent the nucleus of the church, where encouragement,
accountability, and life changes flourish (Acts 2:42-47, Galations
6:1-2). |
| |
| Spiritual
Gifts |
We believe that God has given
each believer a spiritual gift for the purpose of serving
others and building up the body of Christ (1 Peter 4:10, Ephesians
4:11-16). True fulfillment in life comes when one's personality,
passion, and gifts converge in a ministry that bears fruit
for God (John 15:5-17). |
| |
| Generosity |
We believe that God has given
us financial resources to further His purposes (2 Corinthians
9:6-8). Generously investing our time, treasure, and talents
in the work of God will pay eternal dividends (Matthew 6:19-21). |
| |
| A Great Commission
Lifestyle |
We believe that God has given
believers a mission of eternal significance to make disciples
of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). |
