8/25/19 – No Additives. No Preservatives. No Artificial Flavors – The Purpose of God and Man

Our beliefs about God are important to our daily lives—are we believing truth the way God spoke it, with nothing added that would diminish its life-giving power? We want to understand the core teachings of Christ and source answers straight from the Bible. We’ll dig into some big questions that help us know who God is and how He interacts with us.

We Share Life Together

This series is all about innovation and ownership. While Grace’s vision and values will always be the bedrock of the church, one of the constants we experience here at Grace, is that the way we accomplish that vision and live out those values is always changing. As each new generation of Jesus followers personally responds to God’s calling of sharing the love and story of Jesus, we generate new ideas for reaching our friends, neighbors and communities. And those new ideas create new pathways for our church to reach into our surrounding community. During the WE series, we’ll sharpen our focus on the vision and values of Grace Church. We hope you’ll be inspired to make them your personal values and to innovate ways we can, together, make Jesus make sense to those who don’t know him.
