Our Values
Worship
We will prioritize the importance of worship and the ordinary means of grace.
Worship is the single most important thing we do at Grace Covenant. We worship because God has called us in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and has saved us by grace through faith. Our worship centers on the Triune God of the historic, orthodox, evangelical Christian faith and relies upon the ordinary means of Word, prayer, and sacrament. Each part of worship engages our hearts and minds and points us to the saving work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Discipleship
We will model discipleship that learns, lives for, and loves like Jesus.
Discipleship starts on Sundays at Grace Covenant. We establish believers in the biblical faith and equip believers to make disciples through our worship service and Christian Formation. Discipleship continues through the week in our growth group ministry, in the context of ongoing personal relationships founded on the Word of God and developed by praying, living, and serving in ordinary life together.
Mission
We will participate in mission locally, regionally, and globally with our time, talents, and treasure.
Mission for Grace Covenant is primarily with our neighbors, the people around us where we live. We engage our neighbors with the gospel of Christ while we also send missionaries and work with missions organizations to “make disciples of all nations.”
BEING DISCIPLES
WHO MAKE DISCIPLES
Core
At the core of Grace Covenant is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We are saved to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. We find direction for life and ministry in the Word of God, the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, which is our rule of faith and directs us how we may glorify and enjoy God.
Confession
We are a confessional church, this means that we are accountable to a set of doctrinal standards. For us, in the Reformed tradition, this means the Westminster Confession of Faith, and Larger and Shorter Catechisms (our "standards"). You don't have to agree with everything in them to be part of Grace Covenant, but know that our standards help to keep our ministry focused on the Gospel and accountable to do what we say.
Community
At Grace Covenant, we don't just "do church" on Sundays - We want to live life together. Standing together in our faith is something we do in daily life and we need each other to help us to do it. Our growth groups and other ministries meet during the week, throughout the year, as we seek to build a community where "you are more important than I am" and the Gospel matters more than anything.
