Our Story

From the foundation of Grace Community Church, more than 25 years ago, it has been driven by one vision: ”Reach Orange County for Christ.”  All activities at Grace are filtered through the “lens of the vision” to see if they are a good match for the church or not.  If not, we do not do them.  This vision, along with the mission of “Making fully devoted followers of Jesus” are the sustaining reason for the church’s existence.  If you have never been at a vision-driven church, or do not fully grasp what a vision-driven church “looks like” the video below will give you a good sense of how we operate at Grace Community.

The partner to vision is values.  Grace Community operates on 10 values:

1. Jesus is Lord, Savior, and Master.  He is the center and focus of our lives.

2. Grace Community is built on the foundation of biblical truth.

3.  We will be loving and kind in what we say and what we do.

4.  We will practice openness and honesty.  No matter what.

5.  We will reach out and embrace everyone God sends our way.

6.  People will be held accountable for what they do and say.

7.  We will be united as pastors, leaders, and a congregation.  When we do disagree, we will do it without being disagreeable.

8.  We will have a flexible, contemporary, cutting-edge ministry style.

9.  We are all called to a life of constant spiritual growth and maturity.

10.  Every member of Grace will be trained to actively share our faith and be encouraged to do so.
