You were created by God on purpose, for a purpose
You were made to heal the brokenness of this world. No matter who you are or where you are in life, God has so much in store for you!
Truth #1: You Are a Masterpiece – For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. ~ Ephesians 2:10
Truth #2: The World Needs You – For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. ~ Romans 8:22
7 Values of Grace Church
- It’s Not About Me – We will model the self-giving love of Jesus by considering others as better than ourselves, setting ourselves aside, and practicing genuine humility (Philippians 2:1-11).
- We Make Room – We will become a spiritual family that doesn’t look the same, think the same, talk the same, or have the same age or abilities. We will invite one another into full love and participation in the diverse and inclusive kingdom of God (Ephesians 4:1-16).
- We Go There – We are in a humble pursuit of truth together. We will be a safe community to ask hard questions. We won’t be afraid to wrestle with uncomfortable topics and we will listen intently to the Spirit’s voice and dive deep into Scripture to make decisions for our church (2 Timothy 4:1-5).
- Live Life to the Fullest – We love to laugh, celebrate, and have fun because we have been given so much by our Savior. We will overflow with joy, gratitude, and generosity into the lives of those around us (Romans 15:13).
- Put Me In Coach – We will not sit on the sidelines when God’s Spirit is moving. We are activistic, engaged, and passionate about using our gifts and resources to heal this broken world in Jesus’ name (Ephesians 2:10).
- Bring Your Own Bible – We will dive deep into Scripture and avoid shallow answers. We pursue biblical theology, we value lifelong discipleship, and we equip our people to explore God’s Word on their own (2 Timothy 3:14-17).
- Breathe – We will not be ground into dust by this life. We long to be continuously refreshed by Jesus, to pursue what makes us healthy, and to practice the spiritual disciplines of solitude, silence, and Sabbath rest (Matthew 11:28-29).
