Welcome to Community of Grace Fellowship

Fellowship 1The Community of Grace Fellowship is a Christian & Missionary Alliance church. We are a local, family focused, New Testament, Bible believing church. The church is not a building, a creed, or a social club. Rather, it is a fellowship of disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ who regularly assemble for praise, worship, instruction, mutual ministry and receiving the ordinances of Communion and believer’s baptism.

In our teaching and preaching we seek to present Jesus Christ. He, alone, is the Savior of sinners and the foundation of Biblical religion.

We extend an invitation to you to come to our church. You will hear practical, relevant preaching. You will be warmly welcomed to our services.

Our Culture

We don't own culture, and we don't rule it.  We serve it with brokenhearted joy and longsuffering mercy. (John Piper)

Where Do You Stand?

05 January 2011

When Martin Luther appeared before the assembly (Diet of Worms, April 17, 1521) for examination of his heretical teachings, Johann von Eck (assistant to the Archbishop of Trier), spoke for Emperor Charles V. Eck showed Luther a table filled with copies of his writings and asked if he still agreed with what was written. Luther asked for time to think about his answer. His extension granted, Luther prayed, consulted others and came before before the Diet the next day.

When asked the same question the next day, Luther apologized for the harsh tone of some writings, but could not reject the majority of them or the teachings therein. Respectfully, but forthrightly, Luther stated, "Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen."

--Martin Luther. On May 25, 1521, Emperor Charles V issued his Edict of Worms that declared Martin Luther an outlaw.

Turning The World Upside Down

16 December 2010

 

What Are You doing to Turn the World Upside Down?

The chief danger of the Church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down. Our Master expects us to accomplish results, even if they bring opposition and conflict. Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis. God, give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!

 

--A.B. Simpson

Applied Knowledge

17 August 2010

"He is not the best student who reads the most books, but he who meditates the most upon them; he shall not learn most of divinity who hears the greatest number of sermons, but he who meditates the most devoutly upon what he does hear; nor shall he be so profound a scholar who takes down ponderous volumes one after the other, as he who, reading little by little, precept upon precept, and line upon line, digests what he learns, and assimilates each sentiment to his heart by meditation."

-- Charles Spurgeon
