Grace Church Exists…
TO GLORIFY GOD
In accord with 1 Peter 2:9, we recognize that everything we do is to bring God glory; our purpose is to make much of Him! We believe that being God-centered is of greater value than being man-centered. When we seek God’s glory above our own, we find ourselves fully satisfied.
by upholding the Gospel
In 1 Timothy 3:14-15 the church is referred to as the “pillar and buttress of the truth.”
The “truth” here refers to scriptural truth, gospel truth. For the church to be the “pillar and buttress of the truth” means at least three things: (1) we hold the true gospel as opposed to a false one; (2) we hold the gospel high as evangelists and disciplers; and (3) we hold the gospel strong as protectors/guardians.

by serving others
We believe that because Jesus has served us, we are not only able to serve others but called to serve others. We provide many formal opportunities for service while emphasizing that much service will be informally carried out by individual believers as needs arise before them.
