The
word ethos is a term which describes a custom, habit or distinguishing
characteristic of an individual or group. There is no escaping an
ethos, every person and group has one. While there is a given ethos
which exists within any community (e.g. family, work environment,
grouping of friends, etc.) there may also be an ethos which is declared
and desired as the ultimate aim and goal of the community. In other
words, there is the ethos that is and the ethos that is desired.
At
Grace Community Bible Church we are a very unique community
of Christ-followers who love deeply and tangibly. We love to sing,
worship and celebrate God and who we are in God. We love the Word
of God and believe that the Bible is sufficient for all of life.
We know that the times we are living in are different than any other
time in history, but we also firmly believe that the vintage message
of God is timeless and forever relevant.
As
for an ethos we aim at together, it could be summarized as
an appetite for God, a deep devotion to each other and a passion
for the lost and hurting. We believe that as our appetite to know
God grows, our devotion to one another will intensify and our heart
for the lost and hurting will be fanned into a roaring flame.
Below
are some documents that frame our church and provide a foundation
on which we are all unified as a community. Take some time and read
them. If you have any questions we hope you will feel free to contact
us.
