Grace
Family Church launched its beginning Easter Sunday, 2001. We are a
self-governing church (the congregation decides its own ministries, staff,
budgets, owns its own property). We are affiliated with a mission
organization called the Canadian National Baptist Convention.
Vision
Statement:
Joining God in a church planting movement
Core Values
“Core values are of no value unless they reflect God’s values.”
Our Daily Bread
We
value the inspired Word of God to have authority in all areas of church
and personal life
.
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof,
for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of
God may
be adequate, equipped for every good work.
II
Timothy 3:16,17
We
value dynamic personal and corporate worship
“But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall
worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks
to be His worshipers.”
John
4:23
We
value a passion for personal and corporate prayer
With
all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in
view,
be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the
saints.
Ephesians 6:18
We
value living holy lives
…Be holy yourselves also in all your
behavior; because it is written,
“You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
I
Peter 1:15,16
We
value healthy, loving relationships that reflect our relationship with God
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
I
John 4:11
We
value every person having access to a New Testament church, united in
purpose and teaching
…Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the
Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the
stature
which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians
4:13
We
value every person hearing the message of Jesus Christ in a manner that
they can understand and relate
For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all,
that I might win the more.
To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all
things to all, that I may by all means save some.
I Corinthians 9:19, 22
We
value every member of the church being empowered by God’s Spirit to join
Him in His kingdom work
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
We are
affiliated with the Canadian Convention of Southern Baptists.
About the Canadian
National Baptist Convention
The Canadian
National Baptist Convention, formerly called the Canadian Convention of
Southern Baptists was organized in Kelowna, British Columbia on May 8,
1985. Churches from Victoria, British Columbia to Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island voluntarily associate themselves with the convention to
build the kingdom of God across Canada and around the world.
CNBC churches are autonomous and
hold the Bible as the final authority in all matters of faith and
practice. Each congregation is made up of baptized believers who covenant
together in obedience to Jesus Christ, the head of the church.
Although churches are autonomous,
God leads them to cooperate to achieve what would be impossible were they
to attempt it alone. Congregations contribute through the Cooperative
Program to provide a funding channel to take the good news around the
world.
The
CNBC mission is to help
churches build the kingdom of God. We measure our success by the success
of our churches. God has given us a vision to start 1,000 healthy,
reproducing churches by the year 2020. We see this vision as a promise
from God that originated in His heart and will be accomplished by His
power. Our responsibility is to join Him in what he is doing and to give
Him all the glory.
