The Grace Venture Challenge began in 2003 and is a call on our GEC congregation to “Live more simply, give more sacrificially, & accomplish the Great Commission.”

1. We believe the mission of the church is to glorify God by going into all the world to preach the gospel and plant healthy churches where disciples worship God, obey Christ’s commands, and grow to maturity.
2. We believe the gospel is the power of God for salvation; our task is to represent Christ by faithfully and verbally proclaiming God’s Word to the world.
3. We believe the Bible is sufficient, authoritative, and relevant for this core missionary task, providing both the message and method for our mission.
4. We believe God is sovereign in salvation; we rely on the Holy Spirit to convict and regenerate all whom the Father has chosen, graciously bringing them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
5. We believe God’s Word and Christ's Lordship connect with and confront all human cultures; we seek to communicate the gospel in contextually appropriate ways and in diverse languages without fundamentally altering its content.
6. We believe healthy local churches are needed in every community; therefore, we strive to reach new peoples and places with the gospel while also strengthening churches and leaders where health is lacking.
7. We believe the church is the primary means of obeying the Great Commission among the nations as local churches identify, train, send, and support qualified missionaries.
8. We believe making disciples is normally a slow process that requires patience as believers grow to maturity in Christ through the ordinary means of grace in the context of a local church.
9. We believe planting and strengthening churches necessarily includes the work of identifying and training qualified, well-taught, reproducing local leaders.
10. We believe our mission should be carried out through gospel partnerships by cooperating and collaborating with faithful Christians throughout the global church.
