OUR VALUES

OUR VALUES ARE THE FRAME WORK ON HOW WE LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE, AND BUILD STRONG FAMILIES.

CONNECTING TO OUR COMMUNITY

In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus, in a declaration to the disciples, made the statement now known as The Great Commission.

CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY TO CHRIST

With the command to go is the command to CONNECT people to Christ. We are not called to just go, but to go and make disciples of all nations, to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER

Jesus shows us a picture of how internal heart change should lead to external action in Mark 12:29-31. The inescapable truth that we are called to Love God and Love People is loud and clear. As a result, we must CARE for those whom Jesus allows us to influence.

CULTIVATE THE GIFTS

We have all been given gifts by the Holy Spirit. The purpose of receiving those gifts is stated in 1 Corinthians 12:7. It is our desire, and to our benefit, to see those entrusted to this body understand, CULTIVATE, and use the gifts God has willingly given them.

Who We Are

We are a family

First as the family of God and second as individuals brought together through the leading of the Spirit of God. We function as a family keeping in mind it was the first institution established by our Father. Everything we do will facilitate relationship with God, with each other, and with our community.

OUR MISSIONAL FOCUS

Jesus, in His last comments before ascending to heaven in Acts 1:8, tells the disciples that they are to be witnesses for Him in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. This command is still applicable for us today. We each have concentric circles we are called to influence on an individual level and on a corporate level both through giving and going.

Jerusalem

Our Grace Community Church family

We have a commitment to love and care for our congregation as we grow, develop, and serve with one another.

Judea

Heritage Elementary School, Vista Ridge Middle School, Fossil Ridge High School, the neighborhoods immediately to the south and west of us, the apartment complex southwest of us, and the police station on Riverside Drive

Samaria

We are called to make an impact in the surrounding neighborhoods and schools in 76244 and 76137. As a church, we are committed to the neighborhoods in which our church is planted.

Ends of the earth

We believe we are called to GO, and as such, going out on short term mission trips is a priority. We focus our trips on resourcing, supporting, and encouraging missionaries and organizations who will be effectively ministering in their local context long after we return home.
