Mission

Share Jesus. Make Disciples. Serve Others.

Vision

For GracePoint to be a gospel centered church actively discipling, training, and equipping believers to live out God’s purpose in their lives.

GracePoint will be a…

  • Multigenerational, biblical family-building community, raising up the next generation to continue the work of Christ.
  • Church committed to the great Commission, supporting local missions, global missions and church planting to advance the kingdom of God.
  • Community destination, a hub of life, bringing hope and encouragement to everyone. We will be meeting the practical, relational, and spiritual needs of our local communities, and seeing many people come to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Church where ministries will be led by members who are ready and passionate about using their God-given gifts for His glory.

GracePoint’s stated Core Values will be how this vision is brought to life.

What We Believe

Bible We believe that the Bible is the final authority in all matters pertaining to Christian faith and practice.
God We believe there is only one living and true God – perfect, infinite and eternal.
Humanity We believe that humans were created by God but have alienated themselves from God and are in need of reconciliation.
Jesus Christ We believe that God became man in the person of Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ is both completely divine and completely human.
Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and that He empowers us for life and service.
Salvation We believe that through the gift of Jesus’ death on the cross our rebellion can be forgiven, and through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ we can be reconciled to God.
The church We believe that the Church is universal and that it is manifested locally through companies of Christ followers, meeting together as the “Bride of Christ.”
Ordinances We believe that both Baptism and The Lord’s Supper are visible signs of the realities of salvation. We are commanded to observe them, but we do not depend on them for salvation.
Last things We believe that Christ will return at God’s appointed time.
