What We Believe

• We believe in the Holy Scriptures including the canonical books in the Old and New Testaments, that they are divinely inspired and revealed.

• We believe in the inerrancy of the Scriptures and submit to them as the infallible authority in matters of life and faith.

• We believe that God reveals Himself in the Scriptures as triune: three distinct persons of the Godhead. He is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

• We believe in the sacraments of water baptism and communion (The Lord's Supper).

• We believe in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the eternal, blessed estates of all those who put their trust in Him in this life.

• We believe in the unity of the Body of Christ (the church) and the endeavor to encourage that unity by reaching out to believers in all segments of the Christian community.

OUR VALUES

Worship

• We’ve discovered how wonderful God is and how great is His love for mankind. We worship God from our hearts and with deep emotion. We have been blessed with great music and great musicians, and our services highlight God’s greatness and goodness. “I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise Your name forever … Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.” (Psalm 145:1,3)

Care

• We enjoy helping people – all kinds of people! God has put His servant call in our hearts. Often God brings people to us who are hurting for one reason or another. What an honor it is to provide the practical needs, the emotional encouragement and our prayers in Christ’s name for each one. “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set an example that you should do as I have done for you … no servant is great than his master.” (John 13:14,16)

Fellowship

• Loving one another in the church is what Christ called us to do. Our small group ministries, Bible studies and spiritual growth classes provide great atmosphere for people to develop relationships that will last for a lifetime. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34)

Outreach

• It is important to reach out at home and away. The “Grace” family does both: servant evangelism projects and ministries in our “Jerusalem” and active participation in foreign missions all over the world. “As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” (John 20:21)

Teaching

• Allowing Christ to transform us into His disciples is one of our great goals. We encourage each man and woman to rise to Christ’s highest calling through the teaching of God’s Word and its practical application in our lives. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)
