Our Vision & MISSION
Jesus should impact every area of our lives! Therefore, Grace Mesa follows the biblical model of vision and discipleship, according to Matthew 28:19-20
Disciples Making Disciples!
KNOW Christ!
The goal is not to merely know more about Christ. It is to know Christ personally and in an increasingly intimate manner.
GROW in His Word!
In order to be more than an acquaintance or "fan" of Christ, we need to know Him by His Word, what He teaches us. Maturity and intimacy are not achieved by simply loading information into our memory. Understanding what Christ's Word means and trusting Him enough to adhere to His Word is necessary Learning and doing through trust is how we mature.
GO in His Power!
We should not be different at home or work than we are at church. Our family, friends and world need to see evidence of Christ in us. We should boldy demonstrate Christ through our lives wherever we go, through whatever circumstances we face. Believe Him and let Him live His life through us!
