Grace Church is continually depending on the Holy Spirit to enable us to glorify God by worshipping His Son in our teaching, sharing, praying and remembering . We therefore progressively commit to actively engage in 4 things on a continual basis. They are:
1. Listen, read and practice His Words as found in the Bible.
2. Share His resurrected live with each other through fellowship and to the lost by evangelism.
3. Express our complete dependence by praying in His name.
4. Remember His death by practicing ongoing repentance.

*OUR ONLY FOUNDATION
**We affirm the inerrant Scripture to be the sole source of written divine revelation, which alone can bind the conscience. The Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured.
OUR ONLY MEDIATOR
We affirm that our salvation is accomplished by the mediatorial work of the historical Christ alone. His sinless life and substitutionary atonement alone are sufficient for our justification and reconciliation to the Father.
OUR ONLY METHOD
We affirm that in salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by his grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from our bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life.
OUR ONLY MEANS
We affirm that justification is by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. In justification Christ's righteousness is imputed to us as the only possible satisfaction of God's perfect justice.
OUR ONLY AMBITION
We affirm that because salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God, it is for God's glory and that we must glorify him always. We must live our entire lives before the face of God, under the authority of God and for his glory alone.* Michael Horton**Extracted from THE CAMBRIDGE DECLARATION of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, April 20, 1996.
