Have you ever been
somewhere and felt like you just didn't belong ?
Would you like to
belong to a Church that really felt like home ?
In August 1999 God
gave me a dream of a Church where people could get together and
celebrate the sheer joy of being alive. Where people could enjoy
the fun of getting to know God and learning to live by "The
Makers Instructions".
This Dream was of a
Church where people could Worship "In Harmony" despite
their cultural differences.
This Church IS that Dream….Come join with us each week as we
celebrate the joy of knowing God and His Son, Jesus Christ..
Chris Foley Senior Pastor….

To develop a church where people really
feel at home, enjoy worship, discover the joy of living God’s
way as revealed in the Bible, become effective in reaching
people far from God, and serve their community in Christ’s name.
To know and love God through creative,
passionate worship
To become people who are growing in character
To serve one another in a loving community of faith
To share the life changing gospel with the people of Maryborough
|
Grace Community Church recognises the
benefits of cooperation and accountability, and as such our
church chooses to be part of the World Wide Wesleyan Methodist
Family of Churches, the Willow Creek Association, and the New
Hope and Hillsong networks. These are networks of Churches who
share a similar vision of reaching people for Christ who don’t
normally go to church.
|
The mission of Grace Community Church is
to see people who don’t normally go to Church become fully
devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
The sole basis of our belief is the Bible, which is uniquely
God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all
matters on which it bears. As the Bible teaches, there is one
God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit — each possessing all the attributes of Deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied
God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God's
saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes
only through God's saving grace — not human effort — and must be
received personally by repentance and faith.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life
on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross
as our substitute. This accomplishes salvation for all who
receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead
and is the only mediator between us and God. He will return to
earth to consummate history.
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for
personal growth and service to the church. The church's role is
to glorify God and serve those in need. At the end, everyone
will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Those
forgiven through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God
