About Us

We warmly welcome you to our church and invite you to worship and grow together with us as we seek to know, love, and glorify God. We are a church deeply committed to the truth of God's Word. We believe the Bible is the full, inerrant, infallible, and Holy Spirit-inspired Word of God, and therefore our faith, life, and worship must be shaped and directed by Scripture. Because we believe that God Himself teaches us how He is to be worshiped, we seek to worship Him reverently, faithfully, and according to His Word. At the heart of our church is the faithful preaching and teaching of Scripture. Our preaching is primarily expository in nature, meaning we seek to explain and apply God's Word carefully and faithfully, teaching the whole counsel of God rather than selected topics alone. Our Sunday and Wednesday Bible studies typically work systematically through entire books of the Bible so that God's people may grow in a fuller understanding of His truth. We also believe that the next generation must be grounded in the truth of Scripture. Our youth are taught God's Word systematically and in a way appropriate to their age and understanding, helping them grow in the knowledge of God and His truth through regular Sunday and Wednesday teaching.

As a church family, we desire to love one another, serve one another, and labor together for the glory of God. We seek to live out God's truth in daily obedience, joyfully serving Christ our King and proclaiming His gospel to the world.

If you are looking for a church committed to Biblical truth, reverent worship, faithful preaching, loving fellowship, and the glory of God, we invite you to visit and worship with us.

What We Believe

Our Vision – Glory to God in all Things

Our deepest desire is to glorify God in every area of life, worship, ministry, and service. “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

We believe that humanity’s highest purpose is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever, also together as a church family.

Our Core Convictions

The Authority of Scripture
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God and our final authority for faith, worship, and daily living. Everything we teach and practice must be governed by Scripture.

The Triune God
We worship the one true and living God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—equal in power and glory. We believe that Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, of her substance. We
believe the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ
We believe salvation is by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Through His life, death, and bodily resurrection, sinners are reconciled to God and
made new by the Holy Spirit.

Christ-Centered Worship
We believe that creation and all people on this earth is obligated to worship God. We believe that the fall of Adam and Eve corrupted man’s worship of God. Thus, worshipping God cannot be left to man’s own devices. God thus limits and prescribes His own worship and therefore our worship must be shaped by God’s Word! That is
what we strive to do at Grace. Our worship is reverent, biblical, and centered on Christ as He is revealed in Scripture through preaching, prayer, singing, and the sacraments.

Growing Through the Means of Grace
God strengthens His people through the ordinary means He has appointed: the preaching of His Word, prayer, worship, the sacraments, and fellowship within the church. We encourage spiritual growth through faithful participation in these means of grace.

Prayer and Christian Community
We are committed to being a praying church that seeks the Lord in dependence and faith. We desire to love, encourage, and care for one another as the family of God.

Families, Covenant Life, and Discipleship
We believe God works through covenant relationships and generations. We seek to disciple believers of all ages, support families, teach our children the truths of Scripture, and nurture faith within the church community. Therefore, we acknowledge that our children, being covenant children even though not communicant members yet are a part of God’s church. Like us, they are also called to worship the living God. Thus, we welcome all children to our worship services.

Regulative Principle of Worship
We hold to this principle because we believe God is so holy that He prescribes and limits His own worship. Thus, we are forbidden to base our worship on our own devises and desires. Everything we do in worship must reckon with this principle and tha means that we do not believe that we could anything as long as the Bible does not forbid it. No we rather believe that we may only do what God order us in His Word to do in worship. That and that alone is permissible. See more detail about the way we worship the Lord under the heading worship.

Historic Reformed Faith
We gladly stand in the heritage of biblical, historic Christianity and the Protestant Reformation. Our doctrine is faithfully summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms. We also hold dear the truths
summarized in the Three Forms of Unity, The Heidelberg Catechism, The Belgic Confession and the Cannons of Dordt.

Biblical Church Government
As a Presbyterian church, we believe Christ shepherds His people through biblically qualified elders and deacons and through the accountability and fellowship of the wider church. We believe these offices are available only to qualified men according to the
Scriptures. Nevertheless, we value the service of our women with their special gifts and love for the Lord and His church as we clearly see them laboring in our different Service Teams. We desire to be a warm, welcoming, and faithful church family—firmly grounded in biblical truth and centered on the Lord Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that all who worship with us would experience the transforming power of the gospel and grow in the grace and knowledge of God. To God alone be the glory.

Our Mission

We exist to worship God, proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and make faithful disciples through the ministry of God’s Word. Thus our logo says, preserving and proclaiming the truth. As a church family, we seek to live in unity with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Through reverent worship, faithful preaching, prayer, fellowship, and service, we desire to grow in grace and equip one another to live faithfully and obediently in every area of life. We are committed to sharing the hope of the gospel in our local community and beyond, encouraging all people to know, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
