Not Into Religion
NOT INTO RELIGION? AWESOME … NEITHER ARE WE. AND BETTER YET … NEITHER IS JESUS.
Are you tired of religion but still interested in spirituality? Are you skeptical - maybe even cynical - about highly organized, institutional approaches to God while still being open to exploring your faith? We invite you to experience Grace Fellowship - a church for people who aren’t into religion - a Jesus community filled with people experiencing ridiculous amounts of joy & authentic community as the church. A community where they take Jesus and His Gospel seriously, but not themselves.
We’re a barely-organized, highly-dedicated little group of Christ-followers (the literal meaning of the word “Christian“) who are passionate about introducing others to the reality of Jesus and the transformation He brings. We believe that rather than coming to start a new religion, Jesus himself was very clear that he came to call us, to save us & to reconcile our relationship with the Creator of the universe. The Gospels remind us that while He was known for the bad reputation of His companions (a “friend of sinners”), He also came “to seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10). Jesus is pursuing you…He is seeking you…He is knocking… What will be your response?
You may be seeking answers to some of life’s deeper questions. You may be done with religion, hurt by the ‘church’, but still believe there’s something more out there. You may have tons of questions about the church, religion & Jesus - or you may be just plain curious. Regardless of where you’re at - we invite you to check us out and find out what we’re about. Skeptics are welcome, as are tough questions. Take a stroll through our website, and then contact us or just drop in to a gathering.
You should do it. Really. It’s not that bad. Might even change your life.
Grace Fellowship is a network of local churches submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the body, the church. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and make Him known in an ever increasing measure, that God would be glorified in all things as He so richly deserves. We are committed to learning and obeying the Word of God.
For the glory of our God, we seek to be Christ-centered in all our ministry, basing everything solely on the Word of God. In full dependence upon the Spirit of the living God, we seek to build up the body of Christ and to present the Lord Jesus Christ - the one and only Savior to lost sinners like ourselves. We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord (2 Cor. 4:5). In all that we say and do, our desire is to glorify our most wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our goal is to diffuse the fragrance of His knowledge and grace to a world that for the most part ignores Him.
The truth given in the Bible is our authoritative foundation. It is in the pages of Holy Scripture that the one true and living God has revealed Himself. Through His Word, God continually humbles us through the unveiling of the knowledge of the glorious and all-satisfying God in whom we live and move and have our being.
Grace Fellowship desires to:
- exalt and glorify the one true and living God; the sovereign, holy, triune God who reveals Himself in the Holy Scriptures - His revealed word of truth.
- exalt and magnify the Person and work of the crucified, buried, risen, glorified, and soon returning Lord Jesus Christ; God manifest in human flesh as the only Savior and only hope for lost, guilty, hell-deserving sinners.
- be vessels through which God may be pleased to call men and women everywhere to repentance from sin and to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
