Equipping Believers
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” – 2 Timothy 3:16-17
At Grace, we believe that believers should have the opportunity to study God’s Word together. Why do we believe that? Because as we study God’s word together, God:
- Makes us more mature in Christ
- Increases our love and affection for Himself
- Increases our love and affection for His Word
- Increases our love and affection for each other and the world around us
Grace exists to equip the saints in discipleship, and this is primarily done by studying the Word of God intently. Together we do that in our fall and spring Equip Bible studies.
Living in Community On August 25, we will be ordaining Justin Beck and Tim Guthrie as congregational elders. Please join us as we celebrate this exciting time!
