Our Beliefs
We Believe
That the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ is composed of those whom He has brought to Himself through saving faith. Having been declared righteous by this gift from God, these believers assemble themselves into local congregations for the purpose of growing together and extending the Kingdom of God through the spread of the gospel.
The Bible is our ultimate source of authority and we believe the doctrines taught in Scripture are the primary means God uses to change us into the image of His Son. Our beliefs are summarized in our confession of faith. We hold to what is commonly known as the Doctrines of Grace believing that salvation is a free act of God's will from first to last. The members of Grace Church are united together under the Lordship of Jesus Christ which is represented in a tangible way by our Church Covenant. (Nehemiah 9:38)

Our Vision
As a local expression of Christ's body here on earth, we want to glorify Him by Growing Up Together into Christ. This is based on Paul's vision for the church in Ephesians
4:1-16. We desire to see the nations brought to Jesus to become His worshipers, especially the people the Lord has brought to our community.
We Value
- Worshiping God in Spirit and Truth.
- Experiencing God's truth in daily life.
- Being empowered by His grace.
- Relationships, Accountability, and Interdependence
- Unity under the Headship of Christ.
Our Mission
- To develop and strengthen relationships within the body for the purpose of building one another up and growing in Christ likeness.
- To build new relationships with people in order to invest the Word of God in their lives and invite them to become a part of the worshiping community.
- To develop disciples and leaders among us in order to reproduce mature believers.
- To cultivate a global vision and heartbeat for seeing the nations hear and obey the gospel.
