ABOUT US
We are a non-denominational, non-affiliated, non-profit church which believes in the entire Word of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the Grace of God which “brings salvation and has appeared to all men, teaching them to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;” (Titus 2:11-12)
WHAT WE DO
At the Grace Workshop Ministries, we believe in authentic worship and relevant, Bible-based messages which point people to Jesus Christ and provide a source of peace and direction.
OUR COMMUNITY
We here at the Grace Workshop believe in building authentic relationships because church is not a program, or a building, church is an “us”. We are a community of believers, centered on Christ called together as one.

Statement of Faith
At The Grace Workshop Ministries, we hold the Holy Scriptures as our sole authority in matters of faith and practice. Our study and interpretation of Biblical doctrines compel us to believe in and uphold the following:
-
That the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testament are verbally inspired by God and are, therefore, inerrant and infallible in the and are of supreme and original writings, final authority.
-
That there is one God eternally existing in one essence, yet co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
-
That Jesus Christ was begotten by God the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, ang born of the Virgin Mary.
-
That the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement. He is the life of the believer and He empowers the preaching and teaching of the Gospel.
-
That mankind was created in the image of God, sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that human beings are born with a sinful unregenerate human nature, referred to in the New Testament as "the flesh".
we believe and uphold:
-
That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood.
-
The resurrection of the crucified body our Lord, His ascension into heaven and His present life there as High Priest and Advocate for us.
-
The blessed hope, which is the personal visible and imminent return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
-
That all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again by the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
-
The existence of a personal devil (just like Jesus is a person and not merely a force), who has worked, and is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men and that he and all his angels (demons) and all who do not receive Christ as their personal Saviour will eternally perish in the lake of fire.
-
The Church, the mystical Body of Christ comprises all those who have been baptized or placed into it by the Holy Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 12:13. The mission of the church is to preach the Gospel to all the world, discipling all those who embrace it.
-
That there are two ordinances and sacraments of the church; a believer's baptism and the Lord's supper.
We are persuaded that these beliefs are defining and essential. Without them, a group cannot truly be called the "church."
We are especially concerned about believers who have been alienated from the fellowship of the church due to injury or trauma caused by unscriptural doctrines and practices. We feel called, through the grace of God, and uniquely positioned to restore these wounded souls by the power of the gospel of Christ.
