The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Romans 16:20

Core Values

Gracepointe church exists first and foremost for the purpose of reaching people in our community and world with the hope and grace that is the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our first priority as a church is to share Christ with those who have never experienced a real relationship with Him or those who have met Christ but have drifted away from their relationship with Him.

We desire to be a church committed to meeting people where they are in their experience with Christ and embarking together on a journey to become growing, confident and contributing members of the body of Christ by the grace of God. We seek to achieve this objectively, by incorporating the following process.

The Grace Journey

G – God
Where you can meet and know God.
God loves us unconditionally. That's grace, God's gift to us. Our gift to Him is worship. Attending our weekly worship service is the first step in the Grace Journey to know and love God. We believe that excellence honors God and inspires His people. Our desire in every aspect of our worship is to offer God our very best. All teaching and preaching will be practical and Biblically based, and our worship will be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure. Prayer is the ultimate source of direction and empowerment for worshipping God and we offer prayer at church and during the week. After visiting a few weeks, you will be invited to a First Impressions Luncheon at the Pastor’s home where you will be able to meet him, his family and the gracepointe staff.

R – Relationships
Build positive and lasting relationships.
The best way to grow in our faith is through Grace Groups (small groups). We believe that spiritual growth happens best within the setting of relationships with other believers. Joining a small group of other believers is the next step in continuing in the grace journey at gracepointe. We believe people matter to God and therefore matter to the church. If you would like to find a group in your area, fill out the form on the Get Plugged In page and someone will contact you.

A – Acceptance
Where you belong - just as you are.
At gracepointe there is a place for you and your family to get involved. You can learn more about this by attending a Connection Class. Time & dates for upcoming sessions will be in your Sunday morning bulletin & weekly e-mails. After attending the Connection Class, you will have an opportunity to become a member of gracepointe church.

C – Caring
God cares about you and so do we.
The next step is for you to get involved through one of the many opportunities to serve our Lord by serving our church and community. Gracepointe offers opportunities to serve at church, one time service projects (graceDays) and on going community service opportunities.
Let us know how you would like to serve by filling out the form on
the Get Plugged In page.

E – Encouragement
Be encouraged and encourage others.
Everyone is encouraged to share their story of grace. We believe every member is a minister and our first ministry is to share the story of God’s grace! (II Corinthians 5:18) At gracepointe we help instruct and guide members to faithfully share what Christ has done in their life and to invite others to visit gracepointe.
