About us.
BE WITH JESUS
BE LIKE JESUS
DO WHAT JESUS DID
VISION
ANYONE. ANYWHERE. EVERYTHING.
What is God’s vision for His church? We believe it is this: TO MAKE AND MULTIPLY DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS. Every Christian is responsible for the great commission, not just a few missionaries.
Therefore, at Grace Church we have a vision that ANYONE of our church members could be able to be dropped ANYWHERE in the world, and reproduce EVERYTHING. Each disciple of Jesus bears the responsibility to spread the Gospel movement.
We believe the Holy Spirit accomplishes God’s vision—to make and multiply disciples of all nations—through the church today in the same way He did in the early church. Therefore, we intentionally value and devote ourselves to the practices that shaped the first followers of Jesus as seen in Acts 2:42-47:
We become RESILIENT disciples who devote themselves to the WORD, the TABLE, the MISSION and PRAYER.
HOW WE LIVE OUT THIS VISION
Our Values
THE WORD
We devote ourselves to learning the Word, submitting our lives to Scripture as God’s revealed truth and final authority. We seek not only to know God’s Word, but to obey it, allowing it to shape our beliefs, character, and way of life.
The Mission
We devote ourselves to God’s mission, trusting Him to grow His church as we faithfully bear witness to Jesus. As people sent by a missionary God, we live on mission—locally and globally—so that the gospel reaches all nations and lives are saved.
THE TABLE
We devote ourselves to regular fellowship and the breaking of bread, regularly gathering with other believers in homes and shared life. Around the table, we practice hospitality, cultivate genuine relationships, and walk together as disciples being transformed in the way of Jesus.
Prayer
We devote ourselves to prayer, depending on God through continual communion with Him. We pursue a culture of prayer that welcomes the tangible presence and power of the Holy Spirit in our personal lives and our life together as a church.
OUR HISTORY
Grace San Diego was established in 1912. The church has a wonderful history which included, under the leadership of Dr. Tim LaHaye, the founding of Christian High School, Christian Heritage College (Now San Diego Christian College) and Institute for Creation Research. Grace, for several years, was known as “Scott Memorial” before the name was changed to Grace Church San Diego in 2009.
Today, we continue to grow with a strong foundation on Biblical truth with a message of God’s grace, love and hope all anchored in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ!
