Our name, Grace Bible Church, describes who we are and what we believe:
Grace is what God extended to us in granting us salvation from sin through faith in Christ Jesus and not by works (Eph. 2:8.9). The true Christian is to grow in the Lord's grace (2 Peter 3:18), to stand firm in it (1 Peter 5:12), and to extend that grace to others (Ephesians 4:29).
Bible is the center of our name and central to what we believe and all that we do. We are committed to the fact that the living God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, who is eternal, infinite, almighty, all knowing, sovereign, holy, loving, gracious, merciful, true, unchanging, and triune (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), has revealed Himself in the Bible. We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the plenary and verbally inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, His only special revelation to man, and are the sufficient and final authority for faith, life, and godliness. While the Creation tells us of God's existence, His eternal power and divine nature, the Bible reveals His other attributes including His love, plan of salvation and manner in which we should live.
Church describes the relationship we have with God and one another. We are those God has called out for Himself to be His people (1 Peter 2:9-10) who will worship Him (John 4:23-24), tell others about Him (Mark 16:15), and help one another live for Him (Ephesians 4:11-16). True Christians are adopted children of God (1 John 3:1), fellow heirs of Christ (Romans 8:17) and therefore brothers and sisters in the Lord (1 Corinthians 7:15, etc.).
Grace Bible Church is an independent, non-denominational church directed by its leaders under the authority of the Holy Scriptures and its membership. We are in association with IFCA International and seek to carry out cooperative ministry with other churches of like faith and practice while striving to remain separate from ungodliness, worldliness and doctrinal heresy.
We have been pleased with our relationship with SermonAudio. At least three families, who are now in our ministry, found us on SermonAudio as they were looking for a church nearby. I often encourage people who are moving and looking for a new church to go on SermonAudio and use the local church finder. This allows people to listen to a few sermons before they visit. I encourage fellow pastors to sign up and become a broadcaster on your site. Five men from our ministry attended the recent Foundations Conference and were encouraged by what we heard. We appreciate what you are doing and the vision you have. We are hoping to utilize more of your features in the future.
