What are we trying to achieve at Grace
Community Church? Always a good question to ask. And
as soon as we try to answer we think of the many ways
in which we fail – so, once again, we rejoice
that the Lord is the God of grace who helps us despite
our weaknesses.
As an independent congregation we are registered with
the Charity Commission (Registered Charity no: 1105329).
As a Charity we are required to state our ‘charitable
objects’. So, here is our overall aim and the
objectives that we try to realise:
The aim of the church is to bring glory to God by strengthening
the faith and witness of its members and by communicating
the Gospel of Jesus Christ to other people in the locality
and beyond.
In fulfilling this aim the church shall, in prayerful
submission to the authority of Scripture, endeavour
to:
- Pursue the worship of God, centred on the preaching
and teaching of the Bible.
- Cultivate a caring fellowship that encourages and
builds up its members.
- Share the good news of Jesus through local outreach
and by supporting missionary work further field.
- Demonstrate the love of God by meeting needs in
the local community.
