Mission & Vision

Leading people to the God who looks like Jesus.


Grantham Church exists to love and worship God and disciple people in Christ, the Scriptures, and the Spirit’s power to radically love our neighbors and our world.

DISCIPLE


Jesus pursues us and calls us to follow him. Therefore, we are committed to worship, spiritual formation, and making disciples who declare and demonstrate God’s glory and grace. We do this by “working the spaces” of public, social, personal, and intimate relationship. 

SERVE


Jesus demonstrates a life of service. Therefore, we help our members understand the way they are uniquely created by God and identify opportunities to serve in the church and in the broader community. 

WELCOME


Jesus welcomes us to his table and into his family. Therefore, we do the same and extend a warm welcome to everyone we meet. We do this by loving strangers, neighbors, and enemies. 

UNIFY


Jesus is the Son of God in loving union with the Father and Holy Spirit. Therefore, we promote and pursue diversity in our leadership and congregation, embrace convergent worship, and model third-way unity that bridges the divides of political and theological differences.  


WITNESS


Jesus fills us with his Spirit and sends us out to be his ambassadors. Therefore, we equip and empower our congregation to lovingly share their faith, invite people to join us in worship, and lead people to the God who looks like Jesus. 

At Grantham Church, we seek to be:

INTERGENERATIONAL


Children, youth, adults, and seniors worshipping together.


CONVERGENT


Blending the traditional/ancient with the modern and contemporary.


THIRD WAY


Addressing injustice around us in a non-partisan way.

MAKING DISCIPLES


Following the teachings of the resurrected Jesus Christ.


WORKING THE SPACES


Being active in the intimate, personal, social, and public spaces of the church.


WORKING THE TRIANGLE


Loving God, loving each other, and loving the world.

What is a "disciple"? Here is how we define it at Grantham Church...

Disciples are people in community who – empowered by the Holy Spirit – are growing to love, follow, and lead others to the God who looks like Jesus.
