About Grace
Our purpose statement is Inspiring a Life Worth Pursuing in Baltimore and Beyond.” We have two promises – make moments significant and multiply our reach. We inspire, encourage, and equip one another to continually grow and become the people God created us to be.
Promise #1
We make moments significant by being intentional to point people toward Jesus in our environments and relationships. Moments matter and every moment is an opportunity to make a significant impact. In the big things, the mundane, and every moment of life in between, we’re intentionally helping people pursue God’s priorities. We encounter God’s presence and join in community together, and find our purpose.
Promise #2
Grace multiplies our reach by responding willingly to go beyond ourselves and our comfort. What starts here isn’t meant to stay here. We make the most of what we’ve been given by choosing generosity, stewarding our resources, and investing the life that we have been given to make a local and global impact. We partner with our community, invest in the local church, and impact the nations.
Make disciples who make disciples
Jesus was very clear about what his followers were to be doing following his resurrection. In all five post-resurrection appearance accounts, Jesus instructs his followers to go and make disciples. The mission of Grace is no different than it was for those first-generation believers: Make disciples of Jesus who Make disciples of Jesus!
A clear and compelling vision for the future is important to bringing hope into the present.
Vision compels us to dream big, pray big, and believe big in order to experience God’s best.
