We, the Church...

Children's Ministry. Student Ministry. Culturally Engaged. Multi-Site. Leadership Development. College Ministry. Corporate Worship. 

It's easy to segregate these different areas of ministry, yet they are all fingers in the same glove. There is fluidity among them as they are interwoven into one living, breathing body - the church. Each of these areas of ministry are vital toward accomplishing Grace's mission to make mature followers of Jesus Christ that impact their home, the community, and the world for Jesus Christ. 

We are more than just the sum of our parts. We are diverse, yet unified. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to do more than we could do on our own. We are sinners saved by grace. We are lives that are being changed. We are His bride. We were created for His glory and His Name's Sake. We exist to make disciples and we will continue until He returns.


We, the church, have "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, and One God and Father, who is over all and in all and through all." (Ephesians 4:5) Our desire is to reflect that oneness through the church and live a life worthy of the calling we have received.


This communication (click here to view the entire OneFund brochure) is designed to update you on many of the exciting things occurring at Grace on a regular basis. It is our hope that you will see ministry from a broader perspective and appreciate the life-change that occurs daily. This spiritual growth is directly related to the generosity of those funding the church's ministry. Whether you are new to Grace or have been here for over a decade, we hope that we can partner together in this mission. At Grace, this partnership is called onefund. Over the next few pages, you will see and hear more about where we have been and how we can continue to partner with Him in the work of redemption.
