Core Values

Scripture

We value God's Word, because it is essential for understanding salvation, holy living, and service. Therefore, we preach, teach, and study to gain a working knowledge of the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15-17).

Service

We value service, because Jesus came to serve and not to be served, as an example to us (Matthew 20:28). Therefore, we generously share our time and resources to serve others.

Worship

We value worship of the triune God, because He is Creator of all, He is Holy, and He is the Author of salvation. Therefore, we worship God individually and together as a church (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:11, 5:9-10).

World Missions

We value world missions, because Jesus, with all authority, has told us to go and preach the Gospel all around the world.  Therefore, we support missionaries who have the goal of planting Grace Brethren churches at home and abroad (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8, 13:47; Romans 10:13-14).

Fellowship

We value fellowship, because our relationship with one another reflects our relationship with God. Therefore, we nurture authentic, caring relationships in a variety of settings (John 13:34-35; Acts 2:41-47; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Peter 4:8-9; 1 John 1:3-7).

Prayer

We value prayer, because it is our God-given way of talking to God for direction, protection, encouragement, and involvement in His work. Therefore, we pray privately and corporately, knowing God hears and answers according to His will (John 14:12-14; Romans 15:13; Philippians 4:6-7; James 1:5-6; 1 John 5:14-15).

Evangelism

We value evangelism, because we are commanded to go and care about the eternal destination of all people.  Therefore, we strive to present the Good News of Jesus and the need for repentance to those we come in contact with day by day (Matthew 9:37-38, 28:19-20; Romans 1:16 10:14-15; Colossians 4:3-6).
