Our Mission

to the life-changing grace of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
The vision of Grace Church is to be a place where people who are hurt, broken, and far from God come close. That means that you can belong at Grace before you believe. We want to be good news in our neighborhood because we believe that grace makes a difference.

Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Grace Church which are based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
The verbal inspiration and plenary authority of both Old and New Testament (II Timothy 3:16,17)
The depravity and lost condition of all men by nature (Romans 3:19)
The personality of Satan (Job 1:6,7)
The virgin birth and deity of Jesus Christ, our Lord (Luke 1:35)
The shed blood of Jesus Christ, the only atonement for sins (Romans 3:25)
The bodily resurrection and Lordship of Jesus (Acts 2:32-36; I Timothy 2:5)
Justification on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ (Acts 13:38, 39)
The eternal security of all believers (John 10:28,29)
Gifts given to each believer by the Holy Spirit for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11, 12)
The personality of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, and regenerates, indwells, enlightens, and guides the believer (John 16:8; I Corinthians 3:16)
The saved in this dispensation; all members of the Body of Christ, the Church (I Corinthians 12:12, 13)
The acceptance of every believer as a priest to offer, petitions, ministries, and intercessions to God, because of the intercessory work of Jesus Christ, our High Priest (I Peter 2:5: Revelation 1:6; Hebrews 3:1, 4:14, 7:24, 25, 10:21,22)
A life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices by those who are saved (James 4:4; Romans 12:2; I John 2:16; II Corinthians 6:14)
The possession of two natures by those who are born again; they may be victorious over the old through the power of the new, but eradication of the old is unscriptural (Romans 6:13; 8:12; Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:1-10; I Peter 1:14-16; I John 3:5-9)
The obligation of the saved to witness by life and word to these truths and to proclaim the Gospel to all the world (Acts 1:8)
The eternal, conscious punishment of all unsaved men (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:14-15)
The personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
