Mission
In
each church we plant there will be three basic steps—"mission
chapters."
Chapter
1: Connecting the City to Christ through…
Worship. Our worship services
are designed to glorify God, build up those who believe, and
challenge and help those who doubt or seek.
Community
Groups. The backbone of Grace Seattle is our growing
network of small groups and ministry teams, in which face-to-face
friendships and caring develop.
Church
Life Ministries. Hospitality, parties, events,
women's ministry, etc. are designed to enable new people to
develop relationships and enable believers to relate to one
another as family.
Chapter
2: Building Christians into Servant-leaders through…
Caring Ministries. Through Community
Groups and our Diaconate,
we hope to provide a nurturing context for spiritual growth.
Discipling
and Leadership Development. Through Community
Groups, Grace U classes,
and mentoring relationships, our goal is to
• help new Christians mature into servant-leaders,
• identify and involve emerging leaders in apprentice
relationships, and
• nurture and support existing leaders in their ministries.
Prayer
Ministries. We must undergird all our ministries and
strategies with prayer and reliance upon God's grace. We must
gather in groups for prayer to seek God's presence and praise
him for what he has done.
Coordination
Ministries. Sunday Ministries, Administration, Communication,
and Finance. Through these ministries, we will support the
overall work of the church by matching resources (people,
skills, and finances) with opportunities for service.
Chapter
3: Releasing Servant-leaders within the City through…
Social Renewal Ministries.
Partnering with mercy and community development ministries
to bring healing, justice, and reconciliation to the poor
and oppressed of the city.
Church
Renewal Ministries. Evangelism, church planting, and
missions. We don't want to
simply grow our church here in Seattle, but reproduce it here
and around the world.
