We Believe

Jesus Christ is the gospel. The good news is revealed in his birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension. Christ’s crucifixion is the heart of the gospel, his resurrection is the power of the gospel, and his ascension is the glory of the gospel. Christ’s death is a substitutionary and propitiatory sacrifice to God for our sins.

At the heart of all sound doctrine is the cross of Jesus Christ and the infinite privilege that redeemed sinners have of glorifying God because of what he has accomplished. Therefore, we want all that takes place in our hearts, churches and ministries to proceed from and be related to the cross.

Our Values

We Are Members

The recognition of a clearly defined community of people was the clear practice of the early church. Our lives are connected. We need one another. Church membership is our way of ensuring everyone who belongs to our congregation enjoys the benefits and privileges of being Grace Hill Church.
We Are Gospel-Centered

We believe that the gospel—the good news of God’s saving activity in Jesus Christ—is the pinnacle of His redemptive acts, the center of the Bible’s story, and the essential message for our faith, life, and witness. We are committed to preaching the gospel, singing the gospel, praying the gospel, and building our church upon the gospel.
We Are Reformed

Scripture presents the all-glorious, triune God as the source and end of all things, sovereignly working all things according to His will. At the center of God’s purposes in the world is the exaltation of His glory through the redemption of sinners. To this end, we believe that God sovereignly chooses men and women to be saved in order to display His immeasurable grace and glory.
We Are Complementarian

We believe it was God’s glorious plan to create men and women in His image, giving them equal dignity and value in His sight, while appointing differing and complementary roles for them within the home and the church
We Are Pastor Led

Jesus is the leader of his Church and he has called, qualified, and gifted pastors to imitate Him in the task of caring, guiding, teaching, and serving His people.
We Are Missional

Our gospel-centrality entails not only treasuring the gospel personally but sharing it passionately. The risen Christ commissioned His church to make disciples of all nations.

Historic Creeds

We are Christians so we affirm the historic creeds of the church including: The Apostles’ Creed, The Nicene Creed, and The Athanasian Creed.

Historic Confession

We are Reformed so the elders are in agreement with the London Baptist Confession of Faith 1689.

Five Solas

We are Protestants so we affirm the Five Solas of the Reformation:

Sola Scriptura (“Scripture alone”): The Bible is our only infallible authority.
Sola Fide (“faith alone”): Faith alone unites us to Christ and justifies us before God.
Sola Gratia (“grace alone”): We are saved by the grace of God alone.
Solus Christus (“Christ alone”): Jesus is the only mediator to God.
Soli Deo Gloria (“to the glory of God alone”): God alone saved, so God alone gets the glory.
