The objective of the church is summarized in a single sentence based on two scriptures:
WE EXIST TO LOVE GOD,
LOVE PEOPLE, AND
LIVE AN AUTHENTIC LIFE
THROUGH THE TRANSFORMING POWER AND GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST
The Great Commandment:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’”
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37, 39
The Great Commission:
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in a the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28.18-20
It is a vision of a church Loving God
 The only way we can express true love to God and worship Him is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We call that person a Christ-follower.
Grace will be a church where Christ-followers express their love to God through a lifestyle of weekly public worship and daily personal worship.
It is a vision of a church Loving People
Grace will be a church filled with people who have a lifestyle of investing themselves in people who do not attend a local church and inviting them to discover what it means to be a Christ-follower.
Grace will be a church where Christ-followers express their love for people through building caring and supportive relationships.
It is a vision of a church Living Authentic lives
Grace will be a church which focuses on practical and authentic Christian living becoming fully developed followers of Christ.
Grace will be a church that recognizes the importance of family and help develop Christ-centered families.
Grace will be a church where people serve others inside and outside the church.
Grace will be a church where Christ-followers participate in Christ’s mission to the nations (in Columbia, South Carolina, the USA, and the World).
