We Choose

We Choose is our ministry plan—it provides a framework for our church to pursue spiritual health and advance God's Kingdom both within and outside of our local congregations. We believe our mission of making disciples is intertwined with serving our communities at home and the global church.

Did you know our women’s ministry has a bi-monthly newsletter? The Women at Grace newsletter is written by a team of volunteers and staff members who take a big idea and explore it over the course of a year or more. Currently, they are working through the concept of choosing the truth over lies. In each newsletter, we look to Scripture, hear from some of our women, and take time to reflect and apply God’s Word to our lives.
