Gospel Perspective
We believe the Christian life starts with faith in God's grace revealed in the person and work of Jesus and that new life continues with daily faith in His grace for growth and service. Our call is to bring grace to both the believer and unbeliever. Though God has worked to change our hearts, we still have a continuing need for Him each day. That place of daily need gives us a felt common ground with unbelievers and with other believers who have lost touch with the love of God.
Gospel Practice
Grace looks to support local missions in our area, national level works, nearby mission with internationals here or nearby nations, and far away nations as well. The church as a whole is to reach 'Jerusalem, Samaria, Judea, and the uttermost parts...'. We believe that mission work can best be done when each kind of effort cooperates with each other and has some functional supportive relationship. Missions are done in many ways with many strategies. Often mission workers, national pastors, and boards, etc. tend to 'compete' for affection and money by claiming that their way is best, exclusive or is what God is currently doing. Grace is committed to a unified rather than a competitive approach.
-
Because we believe we are one in Christ and that all are equally valuable before God, our mission work represents Christ and his kingdom, not America or evangelical western sub-culture.
-
Because we believe in partnering with others to do missions, Grace supports short-term workers, missionaries, boards, and national pastors/workers.

Prayer Support Community
Our desire is to view all we do at Grace Community Church as missions,
and to see each member as a missionary. Our primary mission
is to the Asheville-Hendersonville region. However, we also
wish to be involved in God's work throughout the world.
