Granada Church

Granada’s Vision:

Our desire is that people…

Know God.
[Know the God of grace]

What do we mean?

This is the beginning of our process. It begins with God and not with us. But, the goal is a knowledge of the true and living God. The primary place for this to happen will be in our weekend worship services. Our goal in these worship services will be to make Christ known so that people can know the Father and know the presence of the Spirit of God.

Learn Grace
[Apply the gospel to all areas of your life]

What do we mean?

We believe that the gospel applies to every area of life and that the way we grow as followers of Jesus is in the application of the gospel. It is not enough for us to lead people to Jesus. We want to develop disciples of Jesus who have learned and who walk in line with the gospel.

Love people
[Be in community with the people of God]

What does this mean?

This means living in vital relationship with other believers who can minister to each other, hold each other accountable, and work out the implications of the gospel together. These groups can be either: house fellowship groups, ministry teams, or special groups. For example, the Alive Again ministry provides an excellent opportunity for loving people in the body of Christ. Our desire is to have every adult become part of such a community.

Serve the world
[Serve the world, bringing the gospel in word and deed]

What does this mean?

This means that we will see service and ministry to others as the fruit of our life in the gospel. We won’t serve because we must do so to be saved but because we have been saved. We will see our service as our joyous response to what God has done for us. The service will take the form of sharing grace in word and deed. These ministries will focus us outward and are the reminder of our purpose.
