Grace Church Statement of Community
When God created the world, he charged humanity with the care and nurture of Creation. Yet we reject God’s design by making choices that oppose God’s will. God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection reconcile us to God and one another. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Grace Presbyterian Church gathers as a community of believers worshipping God and sharing the good news of reconciliation through Christ Jesus.We are all Children of God, brothers and sisters who are united by the common thread of faith in God;
- diverse, ethnically, culturally, racially, economically, theologically, male and female, young and old, single and paired;
- inclusive, encouraging and celebrating the participation of all;
- seeking new ideas and ways to witness and serve;
- a congregation that defines the church as people who seek to express the love of God;
- a church where children are welcomed, nurtured and included in this household of faith.
By God’s grace we commit ourselves to become a church where we
- laugh and rejoice together,
- cry and comfort together,
- sing and dance together,
- worship and pray together,
- mourn and heal together,
- share faith and doubt, hope and pain;
- accept one another as people with gifts and imperfections, seeking to be closer to God
- A Church home in the truest and best sense.
We express our commitment to God’s love and grace
- by affirming God’s love and acceptance for all people in Jesus Christ;
- by inviting and welcoming others into an inclusive community of faith;
- by affirming the ministry of clergy and lay people, women, men and children in serving God in this church, this community, and the world;
- by seeking opportunities for promoting racial and ethnic harmony;
- by nurturing and caring for God’s Earth;
- by working for peace, justice and reconciliation;
- by joyfully worshipping God and witnessing to God’s grace.
