WHAT DOES GRACE BELIEVE?
We often get the question...what kind of church is this? It feels a little Church of God in Christ, Baptist, and a hint of non-denominational. There is truth in all of this. Grace was founded in 1975 and affiliated with Church of God in Christ for many years, yet its first members had roots in the Baptist church. So you will hear Pentecostal style praise and worship, speaking in tongues- along with a flavor of baptist preaching. Yet- we also believe God empowers women to bring the word of God...from the pulpit (see Mark 16:15, Acts 2:17-18, Judges 4-5, Luke 2:25-38, and John 20:16-18).
As such, the easiest way to explain it is to share our belief using scriptures. See below and reach out with any questions!
