The Word of God
We receive the Bible as the inspired and authoritative Word of God, the foundation for doctrine, spiritual life, church order, mission, and ministry practice.
Our biblical foundation
What We Believe.
The Grace Commission is shaped by the Bible, the Gospel of grace, the finished work of Jesus Christ, the life of the local church, and the Great Commission.
Three foundations
Bible. Grace. Local Church.
Our support for new churches is not detached from doctrine or local assembly life. It grows from what we believe about Christ, His Church, and His mission.
Grace and the Finished Work
Salvation is God’s gift by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. His death and resurrection are sufficient. Ministry flows from what Christ has accomplished, not from human merit.
The Local Church and the Great Commission
Christ builds His Church through local assemblies that worship, teach, evangelize, disciple, send laborers, plant churches, and care for one another.
A concise doctrinal summary
Our core beliefs
The Triune God
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived without sin, died as the substitute for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will return.
Salvation
We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from human works. Through His finished work, believers receive forgiveness, eternal life, and a new standing before God.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells, teaches, empowers, and forms believers into the Body of Christ.
The Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ. Local churches gather for worship, teaching, fellowship, prayer, ordinances, evangelism, discipleship, pastoral care, and mission.
The Great Commission
We believe all believers share responsibility for making disciples, preaching the Gospel, praying for laborers, sending teams, and planting churches among all nations.
Christian Hope
We believe in the bodily resurrection, the return of Jesus Christ, final judgment, and the eternal life of the redeemed with God.
Compassion and Christian conduct
We believe truth and grace belong together. Every person should be treated with compassion, kindness, dignity, and respect while the Church faithfully teaches and lives according to Scripture.
Faith becomes practice
Pray. Encourage. Give.
The beliefs above shape how we stand with new churches. We pray in faith, encourage in grace, and give freely as God leads and enables.
