About

Staff & Board

Among with our Pastors, we have Deacons, volunteers, missionaries, and paid staff throughout out serving our church body and the world.

Read the Bible

The Bible is a pinnacle piece of our relationship with God. We need His daily bread and guidance through His Gospel. His word is TRUTH!

Our Beliefs & Mission

Our belief system is a diagram of a triangle with the Holy Trinity, the Bible, and the church. Each part is vital in your relationship with Christ.

Our Missions
motivate us every day

Grace Church NC Favicon

Grace Church firmly believes in giving resources to advance the gospel in the city of Greenville and the world. We support various ministries and missionaries both locally and worldwide through “Faith Promise Missions”, a missions ministry started at Grace.

OUR PURPOSE

The gospel is God’s story of reconciling and redeeming a broken humanity to Himself through the life, death, resurrection and future return of Jesus Christ. Our hope and desire is that the gospel would be the center of all that we do. It is what directs and defines us. It is our identity.

Our BELIEFS

Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God to have perfect peace and fellowship with God. Our first parents lived and walked with God, but they broke God’s law for the garden and were cast out and separated from God. (Genesis 1:26Genesis 2:17Genesis 6:6)

Sin

We believe that all humans are born under the curse of sin. Because of that sin and God’s holiness, we are separated from God. Every attempt of our own will to get back to God is futile because our souls are hopelessly stained and incapable of bringing anything good before God. (Romans 3:10-19Romans 3:20Ephesians 2:1-3)

Hope

We believe that the only way we can escape the effects of sin is to embrace the reality of Jesus Christ with saving faith in His work on the cross. Because He is perfect, Christ’s sacrifice is the only effort good enough to redeem us from death’s grip. Therefore, God alone can save us and impute righteousness to sinful souls. This salvation is the act of a Sovereign God Who can alone rescue and is in no way possible through the human free will—that no one should be able to boast about their salvation. (Romans 10:9-112 Corinthians 5:21Ephesians 2:8-9)

Church

We believe that the church is God’s chosen vehicle to transport the Gospel of Christ. We don’t believe that the church is a building or a location, rather it is people joined with common focus and motive: the knowledge of the glory of God as revealed in Christ. As the bride of Christ, we believe the church is to live humble, sacrificial lives that pursue the lost and glorify God. (Acts 1:8Ephesians 5:27Acts 2:42)

Scripture

We believe that the Word of God is totally true, incapable of error or flaw. Every scripture in the Old and New Testament canons was breathed out by God Himself Who inspired human authors to write for the instruction, correction, and training of believers throughout history and today. (2 Timothy 3:162 Peter 1:211 Corinthians 2:13)

God

We believe that God has forever existed in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus), and (The Holy) Spirit. God the Father is the creator of, sustainer of, and Sovereign over all things. God is perfectly righteous and just, incapable of wrong. (Genesis 1:1-2Acts 4:24Psalm 116:5Isaiah 6:3)

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. An instrument of creation, Jesus has forever existed as part of the trinity. At the perfect time, Jesus abandoned His throne in Heaven to come to earth as a ransom for humanity. We believe that Jesus suffered and died as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and He rose on the third day to defeat the power of Hell and death. We believe that Jesus will return in power and glory to redeem His bride, the church. (Colossians 1:15-171 Peter 3:18Romans 5:6-11)

Holy Spirit

We believe that, present at creation, the Holy Spirit has forever existed as part of the trinity. The Holy Spirit is active today convicting the world of sin and righteousness and regenerating, indwelling, and empowering the saved. (Genesis 1:2John 16:7-11Romans 8:9Ephesians 5:181 Corinthians 12:7Acts 1:8)

Our Groups

Join a Community

Church is not only a crowd gathered around a stage, but a Community sharing life around a table.

One of the central ways we grow as disciples of Jesus is by having intentional relationships with people who share the same goal.
