Our Purpose

Our church exists to help people learn about God's love for them and to discover the joy of following Jesus.  As we share this good news we hope to build a better community where people are gladly encountering grace, experiencing growth, exercising gifts, and extending God’s love all to the glory of God. We believe that "we are God's handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). Here is a glimpse how our church family fulfills our God given purpose.

Encountering God's Grace
During our worship services people sing praises to God, hear from His Word, receive prayer, and find encouragement for their life.  In addition, we show people how to live in the rhythm of God's grace on a daily basis.

Experiencing Growth
Kids get to know God and grow in faith through our dynamic Grace Harbor children's ministry program.  Middle school & high school age students develop a closer walk with God through Bible studies, fun activities, and service projects through our student ministry program.   Adults build friendships, share joys and burdens, and learn to apply God's Word to their life through growth groups.

Exercising Gifts
People of all ages find out how their unique S.H.A.P.E. (spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences) prepares them for ministry & mission in our community and beyond.  In addition, leaders are trained in the Bible, theology, and ministry through Grace Institute classes.

Extending God’s Love
We want to carry out the Great Commission ("make disciples") and the Great Commandments ("love God" and "love our neighbor") where we live, learn, work, and play.  We also support outreach on a local, regional, and international basis.
