Introduction
Jesus invites all of us to a community where we can be fully known and loved as we are.
Jesus taught and demonstrated that God’s redemptive love is radically inclusive; that every person is uniquely created in God’s own image; that God offers everyone — in equal measure — abundant grace and room at the Kingdom table. That’s why we are a church that desires to be made up of people of all ages, races; the rich and the poor. We want to reflect the variances of the human experience — fully integrating the disabled, those across the spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations. Our church body includes and values those who are single, divorced, married and families. It’s why we practice open communion and invite all who want to follow Jesus to be fully a part of our faith community. Whoever you are, whatever the journey that brought you here, we welcome you.
Our faith is meant to be lived out in fellowship with other believers. And it can be difficult for us to love one another “warts and all” if we actually spend little time together, but we believe that the ultimate witness of the Kingdom among us is our love for each other. That’s why we put such an emphasis on belonging at Grace.
