What is the Church?A building? A denomination? To answer this question we must go to God's Word.
"You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." (I Peter 2:9, CSB) Scripture tells us that the church is a people called out by God, from the nations of the earth, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, to be separate, to be holy. |

Our Leadership
"When they had appointed elders for them in every church and prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed." (Acts 14:23 CSB)
We are an elder-led church, as patterned in the New Testament. This means there is a plurality of elder-pastors who teach, and lead by exhortation and example. No one elder has more sway than the others. In humility and prayer, our elder board seeks to follow the guidance of Christ, our Chief Shepherd.

Our Purpose
Jesus said He would be returning, and we believe it will be soon! This fact encourages us to walk in purity and truth. We are following Christ's command, "Occupy till I come." (Luke 19:13)

Searching the ScripturesThe Bible is our compass. Week by week, Grace Bible seeks God through prayerful study of His written Word—verse by verse, chapter by chapter. Our hope is to be transformed, from glory to glory, into the likeness of Christ.

Growing in GraceWe pray we will grow in our love for Jesus, each other, and the world. We come together to challenge, encourage, and equip. Then we go out to fulfill our mission to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
