OUR STORY

A Vision to See Lives Changed by Christ

Field of Grace began as a God-given dream with a passion to see lives transformed through Jesus Christ. From the start, our desire has been simple: honor God and help people know Him personally.

We are a place of hope, truth, and restoration where grace is freely given, faith grows through God’s Word, and every person can experience the real love of Christ. The story is still being written, and we’re grateful for all God is doing in our church family.

OUR FOUNDATION

Core beliefs

Our beliefs are rooted in the authority of Scripture and centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Below is a summary of the core truths that guide our teaching and ministry.

  • A group of women at a concert or event, with one woman in the foreground raising her hand.

    One God in Three Persons

  • People sitting with heads bowed, attending a somber event or prayer meeting in a dimly lit room.

    The Bible as God’s Word

  • A woman is leaning forward and resting her head on her crossed arms on a table, appearing to be in distress, while another woman with wavy hair comforts her.

    Salvation by Grace

  • People in a line with eyes closed, some raising their hands, in a dark room, participating in a spiritual or meditative event.

    The Holy Spirit at Work

  • A speaker on stage in a church, standing in front of a cross, addressing a congregation. The stage has musical instruments, and there are two screens displaying Bible verses from Ephesians 2:10 and 2:10.

    The Local Church

  • A woman with glasses and shoulder-length hair is clapping in a dark setting, possibly at a concert or event.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe truth matters. The following statements reflect our commitment to biblical teaching and historic Christian doctrine.

  • We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is completely holy, sovereign, and perfect in all His ways.

    Genesis 1:26–27, Matthew 28:19, John 5:7

  • We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is God’s Word. It is true, trustworthy, and our final authority for what we believe and how we live. We seek to understand and apply Scripture based on its intended meaning in context.


    2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20–21

  • We believe Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He is fully God and fully man, the Father’s one and only Son. He lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, buried, and raised bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven and now sits at the Father’s right hand, interceding for us.


    Luke 1:26–33, Hebrews 7:25

  • We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through personal faith in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is not earned by works, baptism, church membership, or human effort, but is based entirely on Christ’s shed blood.


    Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9–10, John 14:6

  • We believe all true believers are secure in Christ and cannot lose their salvation. Sin can harm our fellowship with God, but it does not cancel salvation. God keeps His people, and the Holy Spirit seals them.


    Romans 8:38–39, Ephesians 1:13–14

  • We believe the Holy Spirit is God and lives in every believer at the moment of salvation. He unites us with Christ, seals us, and empowers us to live for God. Believers are called to live Spirit-filled, Spirit-led lives for service and ministry.


    Acts 1:8, Acts 10:44–45, 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 5:18

  • We believe it is God’s will for every believer to grow in spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit, pursuing a life that honors Christ.


    2 Timothy 2:15, 1 Thessalonians 4:3

  • We believe in water baptism by immersion. Baptism is the first step of obedience after salvation and a public testimony of faith in Jesus


    Matthew 3:11, Matthew 28:18–19

  • We believe Jesus Christ will return just as He promised, and He will establish His kingdom and reign.


    Acts 1:10–11, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, Revelation 1:7

  • We believe every person’s eternal destiny—Heaven or Hell—is determined by their response to Jesus Christ. Believers are immediately with Christ at death and will be raised bodily to eternal life.


    Daniel 12:2, Matthew 25:46, John 5:29, Jude 1:7

  • We believe the local church is a self-governing community of baptized believers under the leadership of Jesus Christ. The church’s mission is to carry out the Great Commission by going, making disciples, baptizing, and teaching.


    Matthew 28:19–20, Ephesians 5:23

  • We believe marriage is sacred and ordained by God between one biological man and one biological woman. We affirm strong family values.


    Ephesians 5:31–33, Hebrews 13:4
