Our Story
Welcome to GracePointChurch, a warm and welcoming community of faith in the heart of New Brighton. Feel at ease. You’ll walk through the doors and into a swirl of friendly people.
Thank you so much for taking a look at GracePoint Church. We believe God has a dynamic purpose for your life and having a community of believers around you is a part of that purpose. We invite you to come join us for a Sunday service to see for yourself what God is doing at GracePoint. We believe that you will experience God like never before... We can say this because we see Him at work in our lives each week and we are not the same because of it!
Blessings,
Jared Carlson - Senior Pastor
Our Mission (what we desire to do): To Honor God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment.
The Great Commission—Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
The Great Commandment—Mark 12:28-30
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Our Vision (who we desire to be): To become a vibrant, loving, diverse body of believers who worship Christ whole-heartedly, walk with Christ faithfully, work for Christ selflessly, and witness for Christ boldly.
