In keeping with our Baptismal vows, we will strive in word and action to joyfully proclaim the Good News we find in Jesus Christ. We believe God’s love transforms people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. We proclaim and respect the dignity and the value of every human being that walks through our doors. We understand that hospitality is a driving force in our communal life. Everyone has something to offer the community (spiritual gifts to share).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. We believe in striving for excellence in all our worship. We are called to continually be seeking ways to grow and evolve the worship experience we provide at Grace Church, while holding to our standard of excellence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. As stewards of the gifts of God, we strive to steward all resources entrusted to us as a faith community, including the environment. We believe and practice an understanding that our God is a “God of Abundance” in our decision making and corporate life together.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16100890-2880819229724183373?l=www.graceanglican.net%2Findex.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16100890/posts/default/2880819229724183373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16100890/posts/default/2880819229724183373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.graceanglican.net/2006/12/our-core-values.html' title='OUR CORE VALUES'/><author><name>Dave</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10447833147299414417'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16100890.post-5605601374222062322</id><published>2008-09-30T10:00:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T17:41:01.009-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Grace Church Launches New Congregation</title><content type='html'>These are exciting times for the expanding ministry of Grace Church.
