Grace Brethren Church exists to glorify God through
worship, discipleship, service, and mission.

We glorify God through worshiping Him for who He is and what He has done for us in Jesus Christ. We glorify God through discipleship by striving to surrender every aspect of our lives to the lordship of Jesus Christ. We glorify God through service by using our spiritual gifts for the benefit of the Body of Christ. We glorify God through mission by reaching out to those who are suffering under sin's dominion with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We believe that being a Christian requires an active, living, growing faith in God through our Savior Jesus Christ. We believe in living out Acts 1:8 by putting our faith into action within our church family, in our community, our country, and the world around us.
