What Is GracePoint’s Philosophy of Ministry?

Generally speaking, a philosophy of ministry is a set of principles or values that determines why we do what we do. The Bible does not give us a how-to instruction booklet for carrying out a Christian ministry but it does give us principles.

At GracePoint, we draw our philosophy of ministry from our mission, vision and values which are derived from our statement of faith. The statement of faith is included in the strategic plan because our statement of faith defines the essential, non-negotiable parts of our faith which has implications for how we prayerfully implement our ministries, what kinds of ministries we pursue, and how we assess how well were doing on these things in our cultural context.

Actively discipling and equipping believers, building up families, supporting local and global missions, gift-based ministry instead of program-based ministry, and ultimately sharing Jesus and seeing many people come to saving faith in Him — all of those attributes which are drawn from our statement of faith compose GracePoint’s philosophy of ministry and are why place such an emphasis on those related ministries at GracePoint.
