OUR M.V.P.

The what, where and how we do what we do!

MANDATE:
Grace City Church has a mandate to:
  • Mature believers.
  • Teach how to live by faith.
  • Exemplify demonstrations of the Spirit and power.
  • Contend for a spiritual awakening.
  • Awaken and strengthen the spirit of prayer in people.
  • Help develop churches that have the DNA of the Word and Spirit.

Make your church not only a Word church, but a Holy Ghost church. Put the Word first always ...but move in the Holy Ghost in line with the Word. And the glory shall be made manifest. The glory shall even be seen by many. And the blessings of the Lord will flow like a mighty river.” — Kenneth E. Hagin, 2003

MISSION:
"Awaken people to Jesus"

We are compelled by His love to minister reconciliation to others!

2 Corinthians 5:11 (TPT)
Since we are those who stand in holy awe of the Lord, we make it our passion to persuade others to turn to Him ...
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

To live is to live for Christ!

It's in Jesus that we live and move and in Him we exist. We have found new life in Jesus and want to introduce you to Him so you can find this life too.

Acts 17:28 (NKJV)
... for in Him we live and move and have our being.
Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)
... looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith ...
VISION:
"Help people:
- become whole in their spirit, soul and body,
- discover their purpose in Christ,
- prepare and position for the work."

Jesus is working in us all and bringing us into perfection, a whole man, complete and mature in Him.

3 John 2 (NLT)
Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NLT)
Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [a]recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Ephesians 4:12 (NKJV)
... equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
PURPOSE:
"Grace City Church exists to establish God's restoration plan for this city and the people in it."

We are on assignment with blueprints to repair and build anew.

Isaiah 61:1-4 (NKJV)
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations."
Isaiah 58:12 (NKJV)
"Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; ... You shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In."
Titus 1:5 (NKJV)
"For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders ..."
