The vision of Grace Fellowship can be sumed up with the expression 'The Three R's'.Not the old 'Reading Writing & Arithmetic but 'Relationship, Reach-Out & Relevant'.

Relationship

Our relationship with God is the most important part our individaul lives and of the life of Grace Fellowship as a church.We want to encourage this in every aspect and in every way we can, in harmony with God's Word the Bible.The second most important aspect of our lives is our relationship with one another.Grace is a church that encourages friendships and a strong sense of community among Fellowship members.

reach-out

We want to reach out to the communities around us and share with them the wonderful Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Heart's Desire is to see Irish people, along with all the other nationalities, come to know Jesus in a pesonal way AND to become disciples of Jesus by being added to the Church, where they can be encouraged and grow in the things of God.

Relevant

In all that we do as church, we want the life of our fellowship to be relevant.First of all to the Bible and secondly to contemporary Irish culture, within Biblical guidelines.We do not see some other historical period in the past as being more 'holy' than today.Neither do we see the need to look to other cultures abroad for any kind of inspiration.We are an Irish church, along with a wonderful group of International brothers and sisters with us.We come from contemporary Irish society and so will reflect that in our church life & culture.

Bible Believing Church

The Bible is our only guide and source.The traditions of man or denominations cannot be our inspiration.

Charismatic church

Believing in vibrant and deep worship along with the use of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit for today, but with a Moderate Biblical approach.

Democratic based church

All major decisons, including the appointment of those on the leadership team, are voted on through secret ballot by members of the Fellowship who are over 18. Day to day decisions are made by the leadership team.

not a cult or a denomination

We are a local, independent Fellowship.We are not tied into any Grouping, we don't report back to H.Q. Neither do we conform to any of the definitions of what a cult is, either doctrinally or with lifestyle.We do have links with other similiar churches around Ireland and abroad, but these links are based on relationship, not on structure.

training church

It is our belief that part of what God has asked each Biblical church to do is to train up those in the local church.To this end we have a Children's Ministry where the Sunday School Teachers train up our children in a knowledge of God's Word.Our Youth Group helps and encourages our Teenagers in following Jesus.And besides our regular meetings, we also have a number of smaller training groups for adults who want to go further, such as our various Leadership Training (Timothy) groups with input from both Grace Fellowhip and ministries from further afield.

Inclusive church

We welcome people from all age groups and walks of life.From all backgrounds and Nationalities.We are a welcoming church and a church that seeks to integrate those who want to become a part of what God is doing among us.We discourage cliques or factions and firmly believe in equality for all.
