Our Mission

Grace Bible Church exists to gather, grow, and send disciples who delight in Jesus

We Exist to Gather

This means both that we gather together corporately for worship, to encourage one another and strengthen one another through the teaching of the Word and fellowship, and also that we see ourselves as a church that reaches out to gather those who are lost into the kingdom through evangelism, outreach, missions, and discipleship.

We Exist to Grow

Once someone has gathered together, the next step is growth. We want to encourage everyone, no matter where they are in their walk with the Lord, to be growing towards maturity in the faith. GBC is committed to facilitating regular opportunities for spiritual growth and development.

We Exist to Send

Once a disciple is growing, the next step is to send them. This does not always mean missions or church planting, but it does mean that we want to help our people discover where they can best serve the Lord, whether inside or outside of the local church context.

We Exist to Delight in Jesus

In all of these areas, our goal is delight in Jesus. We want our people to know the joy that comes from serving and the blessing that comes from giving of yourself. The future of every Christian is endless delight and happiness, and we want to pursue that now in our lives and ministries. 

Our Values

The Word of God

We believe the Bible is the true word of God, and as such we want it to shape our lives and ministries. It is foundational to everything we do. Because we value the Word of God, we believe in:

Expository Preaching | Sound Doctrine | Faithful Teaching | Reading | Education

Worship

Worship is what happens when we come to see our proper place in relation to God. He is high above us as our Creator, yet through the Spirit of Christ he is near to us. Because we value worship, we regularly participate in:

Prayer | Scripture Reading | Singing | Preaching | The Ordinances

Hospitality

The gospel should be lived out in every area of our lives, including our homes and relationships. Hospitality is sharing with others what God has given to you, and we see this lived out through:

Community Groups | Open Homes | Evangelism | Benevolence | Fellowship

Outreach

A right understanding of God’s grace should lead us to look outside ourselves to the world around us. Outreach is the intentional movement of people towards the lost for the advance of the gospel. We desire to see this happen through:

Church Planting | Missions | Multiplication of Leaders | Service | Community Engagement

Discipleship

Discipleship is the primary means used in the church to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. It can look different depending on the context, but we see this happening mainly through:

Training | Mentoring | Leadership Development | Bible Study | Counseling | Prayer
