What We Believe

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

Core Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of Grace Community Church | Boulder City  based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible.
All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

In essentials – unity
In non-essentials – diversity
In all things – charity

The Bible

We believe the Bible as contained in both the Old and New Testaments is the divinely inspired Word of God [2 Timothy 3:16].
We value two all-important commandments: “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” And “love your neighbor as yourself.” [Mathew 22:37-40]

Christ Likeness

We are on a journey of faith together. Through God’s transforming power we will manifest the character of Christ – the fruit of the Spirit [Galatians 5:22-23].
We will seek to develop a servant heart and giving spirit. [Ephesians 4:13]

Relationships

We value unity in diversity. Therefore, we will respect differing understandings of biblical texts and social and political views.
We will strive to love one another as God loves us and for unity in acceptance and forgiveness.
We will seek humility and a listening spirit when in dialogue with others.

Teamwork

We rally together for common goals. We invite the ideas and opinions of others. We value others more than ourselves.
We are always ready to help or assist each other in any way we can. We will make every effort to support one another.

Discipleship

We understand that the primary work of the Church is to make disciples.
This requires evangelism (the winning of personal commitment to Christ); and teaching – (the impartation of truth and practice). [Matthew 28:18-20]

Prayer

We believe prayer is an essential way to communicate with God. We speak to God and God speaks to us. Prayer is both private and public and important for all.

These are the things we value and seek to embody as a community of faith.
With God’s help and guidance, we humbly acknowledge that our life together is a work in progress.
