At Grace Christian, we believe that grace is for everyone! This guiding belief led our two churches to unite in 2020 as a shared ministry, creating a welcoming place for all. First Christian Church, rooted in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) since 1882, carries a rich history and tradition of faith. Grace Presbyterian Chapel, established in 2015, is part of the Presbyterian USA tradition.
The decision to merge stemmed from our shared values and a common mission: to create a vibrant community where individuals, regardless of their background, can experience the love and grace of God. Our congregations recognized the strength in unity and the opportunity to better serve our community by combining resources and talents. Together, we celebrate diverse backgrounds, welcoming everyone—from seasoned believers to those seeking spiritual significance for the first time.
As we look ahead, we invite you to join us in this exciting new chapter at Grace Christian. Together, we aim to be a beacon of hope and grace, faithfully following the way of Jesus and extending our support to all in need. Come be a part of our journey as we grow in faith, love, and community!
Our mission is to live the love of Christ, embracing God with open hearts, open doors, open minds, and an open table for all.
The foundation of how we seek and experience God.
How we respond to and care for the needs of others.
The journey through which we seek purpose and meaning.
The pursuit of knowledge to deepen our understanding of God, others, and the world.
The path we follow to seek connection, healing, and wholeness in God.
The connections through which we seek covenant with God and one another.
Embracing all as we seek to build a welcoming and inclusive community.
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
We believe in a God who is ever-present and whose very essence is love. God is with us in every moment, offering guidance, grace, and hope as we walk through life’s journey.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the ultimate revelation of God’s unconditional love for all people. Through Jesus’ life, teachings, death, and resurrection, we find the way to abundant life and eternal hope.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, God’s active presence in the world, moving within and among us. The Spirit empowers, comforts, and inspires us to live with courage, creativity, and compassion as we seek to follow God’s call.
Prayer is a sacred connection that draws us closer to God, one another, and ourselves. It is a way to nurture our relationship with the Divine and to seek understanding, healing, and strength.
The Bible is a living testament of faith, filled with stories of God’s promises and presence. It inspires us to live with compassion, justice, and hope as we journey in faith together.
The Lord’s Supper is an open invitation for everyone. It is a sacred moment where we celebrate God’s grace, forgiveness, and the unity of all people as one family in Christ.
God’s resurrecting power brings renewal, hope, and joy. It offers us the promise of new life—not only in eternity but here and now as we seek to live in God’s love and grace.
