About Us
Our Mission
The mission of Grace Church is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. The Church pursues this mission as it prays and worships, proclaims the Gospel, and promotes justice, peace and love. The Church carries out its mission through the ministry of all its members. Our Core Purpose (Vision) To be a loving community seeking to restore all to unity with God and each other in Christ. Our Core Values:
Our Ministry Strategy 1. To build a youth culture where children and youth can come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ within a loving environment that encourages church involvement and the development of peer groups. 2. To be a source of comfort and hope to our senior citizens through high quality fellowship, education, and pastoral care programs that build relationships and reduce isolation. 3. To leverage our resources as a beautiful historic site and showcase our programs and ministries through beautiful and relevant printed materials, an interactive website, historically-sensitive signage, and intentional programs that showcase the beauty of our grounds and buildings, liturgy, traditions, historic organ, and cemetery. 4. To provide high quality formation programs for all ages that include Preschool childrenʼs chapel, bible studies, spiritual formation programs, liturgical studies, preparation for the reception of sacraments, and newcomer instruction on the history, theology, and liturgy of the Episcopal Church. 5. To promote and encourage the ministry of all believers in a creative way that connects people to existing ministries and to new ministries that answer the needs of our local and universal Church. Chief among this ministry is our mission to the least and the lost around our communities and throughout our state, country, and world. 6. To encourage and promote biblical, Christ-centered preaching that reinforces our core beliefs in salvation by grace alone through faith. 7. To be a source of hope and comfort to members who are dealing with illness, isolation, depression, incarceration, post-operative recovery, and other life conditions through high-quality pastoral care and visitation programs. 8. To promote the growth of our congregation by training and supporting our members to be active in befriending and inviting unchurched people to our congregation and by creating a welcoming and loving atmosphere where visitors feel comfortable and accepted. 9. To ensure the viability of our congregation through stewardship education programs and campaigns that build a connection between our faith and our financial support of Godʼs church and that instill a deeper level of commitment in our parishioners. 10. To be good stewards of the gifts God has given us by taking proper care of our grounds, buildings, and programs and by remaining committed to the well-being of Saint Francisville and West Feliciana Parish. |
