We Believe that there is ONE LIVING and TRUE GOD, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory, that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
We Believe that the SCRIPTURES of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
We Believe in GOD THE FATHER, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to him through Jesus Christ.
We Believe in JESUS CHRIST, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into Heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and in His personal, visible return to Earth.
We Believe in the HOLY SPIRIT, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ; WE BELIEVE the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and in gifts of the Spirit.
We Believe that ALL MEN are sinners by nature and choice, and are, therefore, under condemnation; that GOD regenerates by Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord; that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and power for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
We Believe in the universal CHURCH, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head, and all regenerated persons are members.
We Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ committed two ORDINANCES to the Church, baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe in water baptism by immersion, and in communion open to all believers. (Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 11:23-30, Luke 3:3)
We Believe in the universal CHURCH, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head, and all regenerated persons are members.
We Believe in the personal, visible RETURN OF CHRIST to Earth and the establishment of His Kingdom; in the resurrection of the body, the final judgement and blessing of the righteous, and endless suffering of the wicked.
We are hungry to know God's presence, hear his voice and follow after him.
We desire that Jesus' love, mercy, grace, truth, purity, power, and integrity shine through all we do.
We honor Jesus as our Head, and the Holy Spirit as our Counselor. We seek to be responsive to the holy spirit in life and ministry.
We aim, first, to grow personally in the knowledge of Christ, and, secondly, to make disciples by leading others into these same practices.
We believe that mercy is fundamental to all that God does in salvation. We therefore aim to extend mercy to one another, and to all whom we minister.
It is important to us to speak the truth, deal honestly, and live uprightly.
We believe that Christ has put significant leadership authority in the hands of the pastors. We aim to exercise this authority with selflessness, grace, and a sincere desire to build up the Body of Christ.
We are honored by every person whom God adds to Grace Community Church. We aim to work together to build the church through maintaining mutual respect, open communication, determined cooperation, and believing and speaking the best about each other.
Jesus promised that those who follow Him would do the same works that He had done and even greater. (John 14:12)
