Distinctives
Mission
Grace & Peace is a people united by the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the purpose of reaching and equipping individuals through Christ-centered worship, authentic community, and service in Bowling Green and beyond.
Six Marks of Grace & Peace
Gospel Centered – The gospel transforms everything! It is the declaration that we are not made right before God on the basis of our actions or good deeds, but wholly and completely on the basis of Christ’s work. All we do flows from this truth.
Gracious Atmosphere – Grace & Peace is a place where you are free to struggle with your doubts and weaknesses. We invite you to struggle in the context of a loving and caring community of faith. We are a community of faith learning to be a community of grace and peace.
Incarnational Ministry – We believe that ministry occurs when people are energized by the presence of Christ in and through relationships. We are committed to ‘being’ the church rather than having a church.
Missional Living – To live missionally means that we are not just a church for ourselves, but a place where all people can come and hear God’s word. We will live our lives in this world, not of this world, but for the world.
Kingdom Movement – We hope to be a representation of God’s kingdom in our lives, through our mission, from our community and to our world. We hope for a better city and not a bigger church.
University Presence – We believe in the importance of engaging the university campus with the message of contemporary relevance. It is our calling to love our neighbors.
