Three Things
At Grace Central, we
basically only do three things. We
do worship, home groups, and ministry teams. We are convinced that our calling
as a church is to encourage and equip people to be liberated into the lives God
has given them. We don’t
want to suck people out of their lives and relationships and involvement in the
community. We want to minister to
people in such a way that they can be more fulfilled, faithful and effective in
the places where God has put them.
That means we must provide
ministries which expose people to God’s grace and the means he uses to
communicate that grace. We must
provide ministries where people can worship, pray, hear the Word of God, build
relationships, and discover and use their own talents and resources to serve
others. That’s what happens in
Worship, Home Groups, and Ministry Teams.
We are convinced that involvement in all three of these areas is
essential to our spiritual growth and health.
At the same time, we want to try very hard to limit what we do to only those things which we are convinced are essential. That way people are encouraged to take what they are learning at Grace Central and go out into their lives to apply it and to discover the radical implications of God’s grace. We think being a responsible church means our people should have time for relationships and activities outside of our church as well.
Get involved. Grow. Live your life.
