Our Ministry
The ministry of Grace has an upward focus, an inward focus, and an outward focus. Taken together, the above list defines the Christian life as a life of love. In other words, as a church, we are called to be about Worship, Discipleship, local Outreach, and global Missions.
Worship
Jesus summarized the entire "law and the prophets" by saying that we are to love the Lord our God with everything that we have and are. Loving God is our most consuming and glorious calling. This has primary reference to commitment of Grace to be, above everything else, a worshiping community.
Discipleship
Jesus also gave a second "great" commandment, which he said was like the first. It calls us to "love our neighbors as we love ourselves." Love demonstrates that we are true followers of Jesus Christ. Thus, we are committed to becoming a caring and discipling community.
Outreach
The very last words Jesus spoke to His disciples before He ascended were in the form of a parting charge. We have been commissioned to be His witnesses of the good news of God's saving grace. Therefore, we are charged to reach out into the community.
Missions
In addition to being a witness to the local community, Jesus' last words included taking God's glorious gospel to every nation. The fourth part of our ministry concerns our commitment to the global mission of the church by supporting other gospel-centered ministries locally, nationally and internationally.
Education
As an outreach of Grace, Chelsea Tutorials provides classes to support the home-educated student. Chelsea Tutorials is staffed by Bible-believing Christians who seek to bring Jesus and the truth of the gospel to bear in all subject matter.
