MORE ABOUT US
Discipleship Generations Leadership Generosity Family
We believe God has called us to announce His love to this world. Through our lives, jobs, family circles and friendships, we strive to engage with the people around us in hopes of spreading the love of Christ. We are a church that relishes our diversity and are devoted to the teachings of The Bible as a guide for our everyday lives. When Jesus preached to the crowds in the Book of Luke, he was quick to say that we are called to love those who are hard to love. Grace Point Church’s mission statement to reach people and build community, is our response to Jesus’ teaching. We do this not out of pride or arrogance, but because we genuinely care for the people of Abilene, TX and beyond.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
The only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
By whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe… In the baptism with the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of spiritual gifts.
They that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
