We believe God has called us to be a light in our community and an incarnational witness in our world. We yearn for “God’s Grace to grow in us, through us and among us, bringing the fullness of Jesus to all of life”. We do this through love, empathy and sacrificial service, warmly and humbly engaging those who don’t yet know Jesus and those who are marginalized by society. We seek to live our lives with an awareness of and dependence upon God’s Presence with us moment by moment and we seek to be His Presence, by the power of His Spirit, where we live, work, play and serve. GFC began in 1980 with four couples meeting in a living room envisioning a different kind of church. These early gatherings were marked by an informal and welcoming atmosphere, and were fueled by a passion for reaching lost friends with the love of Christ and equipping each member to be a minister (based on spiritual gifts/SHAPE). Solid biblical teaching combined with creative and seeker-sensitive services helped fuel rapid growth through the 80’s and 90’s. More recently, this desire for kingdom multiplication has resulted in the planting of several other churches. Currently more than 2700 adults and children attend Grace Fellowship Church Knowing that we are but one local expression of the broader, universal body of Christ, we are committed to actively building partnerships with other believers and faith communities based on mutual respect, prayer and compassionate service together. We believe that God’s will is to bring the oneness, wholeness and fullness of Jesus to all of life and we are fully committed to serving God toward that end until He returns to make all things new. www.gfc.org More...
