We believe that people matter to God and therefore they matter to us. God demonstrated the high value He places on people when He gave us His very best – His Son – to provide the gift of salvation. (Eph. 2:8-9)
We Value Application of Scripture
All teaching is for Life-Change
We believe the Bible is God’s word, true and without error from start to finish. As such, it has everything we need “for life and godliness”. As believers, we must allow His word to bring us knowledge, but also application for life-change. It is not just to be read…it is to be applied in a way that makes us more like our Savior. (2 Peter 1:3-4)
We Value Relationships
Life-change happens best in the context of relationships
We believe that REAL authenticity comes as we become transparent to the point of sharing our weaknesses and strengths. Doing this in the context of relationships helps each of us to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds”. (Heb. 10:24)
We Value Relevance
Methods of communication change…the Message will not
We strive to convey the truth of scripture in a way that is understandable to everyone within hearing. For our children, teenagers and adults, we will present the Word of God in an age-appropriate manner leading to life-change. (Heb. 4:12)
We Value Missions / Service
Every member a minister
God’s Word equips us to go outside of our comfort zone to serve others selflessly. We must strive to meet the needs (physical and spiritual) of those less fortunate in the community of Alvarado and beyond. Each member in the body is gifted by God. At GraceMark, our desire is to see all believers discover and use those gifts to glorify God, edify the church, and reach the lost. (Matt. 28:19-29, 1 Cor. 12:4-6)
