Statement Of Faith
Our Statement of Faith is the foundation of everything we believe and practice, guiding us in our journey of faith and service.
It is our privilege to serve the community of Lago Vista for the name of Jesus Christ! Grace Fellowship is a multi-generational family church, filled with people of all ages and stages of life. We have programs and Bible studies for children, youth, and adults as well as many other opportunities for you to connect to the life of the church. We hope that you will find yourself at home among us and growing in your relationship with Jesus.
Come comfortable. Church should be enjoyable! You’ll see people in everything from shorts to suits on Sundays. Our concern isn’t what’s on the outside, but what’s on inside. Come as you are. Jesus accepts us as we are when we come to Him. Why shouldn’t we?
There is plenty of parking all around the church. If it is raining you can pull to the left side of the church and use our covered driveway to drop the family off.
Learning about God and the Bible should be enjoyable and encouraging. Pastor Mark presents God’s Word in a loving, caring manner. Mark’s sermon style is best described as narrative – he likes to incorporate stories into his sermons. He believes the Bible is the perfect Word of God and provides us with the teaching we need to live a life that honors our Lord.
The church family at Grace Fellowship are loving and caring. None of us are perfect and we realize that. God tells us to help bear each others burdens. At Grace Fellowship you will find people who are willing to listen and help as you grow in your relationship with Christ.
We want each person to understand what the Bible tells us about this most important doctrine. It is our hope that this look at salvation will help you understand better what God tells us in His Word about your eternal future and have hope and a peace from Him about your home in heaven.
God created man to have fellowship with him and enjoy his worship for eternity so He gave his Son Jesus as a payment to have a way to heaven. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." – John 3:16
Every person has the opportunity to accept God's love and forgiveness if they will do it. God's arms are open wide and He wants each person to give their lives to Him. "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." – 1 Timothy 2:3-4
This sin is part of each of us and keeps us from knowing God which makes us need forgiveness. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." – Romans 3:23 This sin has caused us to need a way to be reconciled to Holy God. For us to be brought back into a good relationship with a holy God, we must be forgiven through the cleansing of our sins. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." – Romans 6:23
Many people think that in the end their good works will outweigh their bad ones and they will be in heaven. God’s Word tells us that salvation is a gift not to be gained through man’s efforts, but by God’s gift of grace. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast." – Ephesians 2:8-9
Jesus is the way of salvation not just a belief in God. Jesus is the key to eternal life. "Jesus answered, I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." – John 14:6
Salvation involves a heart change that gives a life change. A true commitment to Christ will be an eternal action. "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing will come from the Lord." – Acts 3:19 "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." – Romans 10:13
