Grace Community Church - Bridgewater, NJ

Our vision for Grace Community Church is to faithfully live out the great commission and the great commandment to love the Lord our God and to love our neighbors as ourselves for the purpose of honoring and glorifying God through our church family and personal lives. Through God’s help and grace, we seek to: * Worship God in a scriptural manner through edifying teaching and preaching, fervent prayer, and joyful music. * Provide a visible, welcoming and hospitable church family for visitors and newcomers. * Incorporate new members into the life, service and ministries of our church. * Support and encourage one another to use our God given gifts to share in the work of the church, and to provide faithful financial stewardship in thanksgiving for God’s grace and mercy in our lives. * Develop and put into action plans to expand our missions program to effectively reach out to the unchurched and unsaved in the community, nation, and world. * Minister, encourage and aid believers and non-believers through deeds of mercy and service. * Faithfully and effectively serve Christ and proclaim the gospel of Christ in our homes, communities, and world. * Provide an effective, progressive Christ-centered education program to disciple and encourage everyone of all ages to grow in the knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and grace of Jesus Christ. * Develop and implement a plan to renew, nourish and grow our youth program, particularly pre-teens and teens, including establishment of an active youth group and a long-term goal of at least a part time ministry team member. * Strengthen the fellowship of our church family and community through increasing the participation in, and growing the number of, small groups, home fellowships, women’s ministries, men’s ministries, and other church groups.
