The Bible is God’s Word to us. Human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote it. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because God inspired it, it is the truth without any mixture of error and is powerful to restore Godly patterns of thinking.

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude that separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

People are created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

Christ is the recognized head of our church, not any person, group, or religious organization. While recognizing the value of associating with other groups of Christians, we believe this local church should be self-governing and independent from outside control in matters of strategy, structure, and style.

We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service and be equipped for ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and Bible reading. The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to “full time” Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation.

We believe every Christian should commit to basic Christian community within a small group fellowship that is regularly devoted to one another through discipleship, prayer, and outreach. This is the pastoring arm of the church and is equal in importance to a Christian’s spiritual health as the Sunday morning service.

At Grace Fellowship we practice tithing for the support of Christ’s Body, the church, as God commands. We recognize that giving 10% of our income is the Biblical standard of giving.

We practice baptism by immersion under water as testimony of inward salvation received by grace through faith.

We welcome the orderly expression of worship and gifts of the Holy Spirit during services under the leadership of the pastor or those he has designated.

It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those God brings us into contact with. We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to church.

We believe that the Kingdom of God is here and that Jesus’ authority over Satan is operative today through believers to bring healing to the human body and personality, to work supernatural miracles, and to bring freedom from demonic oppression.
