Community of Grace
Christian Church
OUR PURPOSE
Developing Transformed Lovers of God who Transform their World
WHO WE ARE
As a community, we partner with God to equip people to walk in the fullness of their purposes by helping them deepen their relationship with Jesus and others, by helping with restoration of the soul, growth in maturity and character development, and by empowering them to accomplish the things God has called them to do. When love is the foundation, it becomes a safer place to take risks, succeed and/or fail, but still grow. As people experience victories, they will take what they learn and lead others into experiencing God and the next steps of their destinies.
Community of Grace CORE VALUES
The Presence of God: The first commandment of loving God means that we first pursue living in His Presence enjoying Him. Everything revolves around His Presence. Worship is the practice of pursuing His Presence and should be expressed extravagantly. [“Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever.” Westminster Catechism (1647)]
Honor: Honor acknowledges who people are as seen through the eyes of heaven which positions us to give them the value that they deserve, to receive the gift of who they are in our lives, and treat them accordingly. It includes effective confrontation, which is a key to sustaining an environment of grace. Honor has love as its foundation, is nonjudgmental, and respects each other even in differences.
Community and Family: Family is the government of Heaven. Expressed on this earth, the members of the body should relate to each other as family with love as our foundation. Fellowship to build a cohesive covenant community is vital to our mission. Community requires us to be hospitable, extending ourselves to each other.
Supernatural: Living in the supernatural should be normal and expected for followers of Jesus Christ. It includes things like healing, miracles, signs, wonders, angels, translations, transportations, resurrections, etc. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.” (John 14:12 NASB)
The Word of God: The Bible is our foundation of objective truth. His sheep can hear the voice of God but it doesn’t contradict the Bible. Prophecy is significant in the pursuit of God’s purpose though it doesn’t add to the Bible.
