Grace Community Church is committed to the call of God that His love be expressed through our mission endeavors;  carrying the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations, so that His name might be exalted among all His people.  Our commitment is a reflection of obedience to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15).

 

Our Four Guiding Principles:

1. Spiritual Integrity
We will only partner with missions (missionaries, mission endeavor, etc.) who demonstrate in their leadership the character and qualifications required of men in positions of spiritual leadership (1 Timothy 3:1-7). Missions must not be excluded from the ordinary demands of spiritual integrity that God presses on those who would lead among His people.

2. Doctrinal Harmony
We will only partner with missions (missionaries, mission endeavor, etc.) whose doctrinal position is in full harmony with Grace Community Church. Like-mindedness in ministry is an essential for gospel expansion (Acts 2:46, Philippians 1:27).

3. Local-church Centeredness
We will only partner with missions (missionaries, mission endeavor, etc.) whose passion and vision is the work of planting and/or revitalizing indigenous, nationally-led (local pastor led) churches.  We will give great care to examine the integrity of any mission’s local-church centeredness.

4. Relational Development
It is our intention to partner with missions (missionaries, mission endeavor, etc.) with whom we have an established, growing relationship or with those who have a desire to develop and maintain a strong relationship with us as a sending and/or supporting church.
