Community of Grace Ministries embraces the undeniable truth that God loves and values all people - no exceptions.
This truth is manifested clearly in the person of Jesus, who modeled unconditional, boundless love. There are no outsiders to Jesus’ love, no us versus them, only people God seeks to invite into his family.
This is Grace!
This is our Holy Calling: to follow Jesus as a community of his Grace, and to help others know Jesus through us.
Convicted by this Holy Purpose and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are aligned to four core missional values that drive our actions and decisions:
We will see people the way
Jesus sees people
We will love people the way
Jesus loves people
We will serve people the way
Jesus serves people
We will teach people the way
Jesus teaches people.
These are written in the present tense, because we follow a risen and living Jesus, who is still seeing, loving, serving, and teaching today. And we write them in the imperative, "We will...", knowing that we will also fail and fall short. That is why we need Jesus's grace extended to us and we ask Jesus to give us that grace to extend to others.
How can we even hope to live those values out? Our formational values describe our process of spiritual formation. This is not a process with an end point, as you can always go deeper into any of the four:
Know Jesus.
Trust Jesus.
Imitate Jesus.
Speak Jesus.
We are committed to the process of spending time with Jesus, so that we can become like him, and engage the world the way he did. We welcome anyone who wants to join the journey.
