Mission Statement
We at Grace Community Church recognize that our number one purpose is to exalt the Lord God Almighty. Along with this we have a responsibility to provide a place of Christian Fellowship for others of like precious faith. We recognize that we are to be disciples of Jesus Christ and that we are to make disciples of Jesus Christ, both locally and throughout the world. All of this is done by the power of the Holy Spirit working through us, not as an act of our own strength. Our common goal: Lifting Jesus up that all may come to know Him!
