What We Believe
Our Values
One of the most important aspects of who we are theologically is our belief that God's Word, the Bible, is without error in all it teaches and that the Bible alone is our only infallible guide for faith and practice. As J.I. Packer has stated, "God has spoken in the Bible and He has not stuttered."
At Grace Fellowship we gladly celebrate the great truths of the Reformation:
- God's absolute sovereignty over all His creation and in salvation.
- Salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ alone; not by works.
- A world and life view that has God at the center and man on earth to proclaim God's redemption to the world.
