Gracestreams DNA
We are a genuine community of believers where people from all cultures and backgrounds are welcome while we constantly build and integrate into God’s culture. We accept and love one another unreservedly as we commit to building and encouraging one another to be Heavenly focused as well as earthly relevant.
Gratitude- We are grateful people because we exist as a product of God’s gift. We are grateful for God’s amazing character and work in us, for us and through us. We are grateful for everything and for all things. We deliberately prioritize gratitude in our meetings through quality worship in songs and music as well as being openly appreciative of people for services rendered in ministering to others.
Responsibility- We are a responsible community of saints. Each of us is responsible to God, the local Church, and our leaders and as a local Church; we are responsible for a wider body through deliberate corporate relationships and affiliations. Each person is responsible for their spiritual growth and maturity, practicing God’s presence, building other believers and witnessing God’s Grace to the World. We practice mutual submission and shared authority in our operations. We operate an atmosphere of accountability where individual vulnerabilities are sensitively handled so everyone is secure and well nurtured. The essence of accountability is to protect one another and our community.
Absolute trust in God- We are people that depend totally on God for all things and in all circumstances. We are justified by faith and we live by faith in Christ only. Because we trust God, we aim to obey Him always, pray with thanksgiving always and step out to experience all His promises. We recognize the power and absolute necessity of seeking God’s direction in prayers at every stage of our Church life
Collaboration- We are God’s household and no one should walk alone. We have a common heritage in God’s Grace. We are Christ’s body consisting of different parts; we build one another and build together. Synergy is our language as we share fellowship and do the work of ministry. We also collaborate with other local churches, ministries, and institutions by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Edification- We commit to deliberate instructions especially through the ministry gifts for continuous improvements of the believers. All activities and operations are tailored to edify the saints so we attain maturity and be effective in the work of the ministry.
Service & Sacrifice- We are not servants but children who serve in our father’s house and business. We value serving one another, the wider body of Christ and the world as an expression of God’s love that we have received. We are a product of sacrifice and we live by sacrifice. We serve and give sacrificially as a response to God’s love. We are persuaded that sacrificial love is the bedrock of an effective missional community.
Training- We uphold that the local church is ultimately a training ground for the believer. We train believers for the work of ministry. The primary focus of our study is the establishment of the believer in their identity in Christ and being effective witnesses of the resurrection of Christ. We will also actively support non-biblical training that will support our fellowship and mission to the world.
Relationship- We are a community connected and related by the blood of Christ. We are a loving community of believers sharing our lives together. We emphasize relationships among God’s people, which transcend formal meetings. We go through life and circumstances in concert as God’s own family. We openly identify and relate to the wider body of Christ and we consistently build a caring relationship with the world with the aim of having the opportunity to win them to Christ.
Excellence- We commit to excel in all we do beginning in our relationship with God, fellowship with one another, witnessing to the world and our individual chosen endeavors. We encourage one another to be the best we can be and give the best to God’s Kingdom and the world at large.
Authenticity- We are an authentic community of believers. We are here to bless one another and not to impress one another. We are SUPERNATURAL but not SUPERFICIAL. While we are aware that our fellowship with one another would result in positive changes, we accept one another unconditionally. We do not perform FOR acceptance rather we perform FROM acceptance. We build one another in an atmosphere of love and transparency devoid of condemnation.
Memorizing Scriptures- We are a Word-based Church with an unparalleled emphasis on the integrity of the Word. We encourage one another to develop the habit of knowing Scriptures off heart. We believe this will enhance meditation on God’s word, application as well as witnessing Christ to others.
Scholarship- We commit to good research and correct teaching of the Bible in a way that can be applied in everyday life. We encourage diligent and rigorous Bible study habits amongst us. This is imperative because the correct interpretation of the Bible should necessitate or support all we do. We are LOUD where the Bible is loud and SILENT where it is silent.
Our Partners
GraceStreams treasures the larger body of Christ. We are mindful of the need for collaboration with other Christ centred and missional local Churches and leaders in advancing God’s Kingdom agenda. As a young Church plant, having a network of ministry practitioners that offer wisdom, coaching, resources and invested prayer is important for finding stability.
V3 Church Planting Movement
GraceStreams Church is a partner church with the V3 Movement. At the heart of developing a church planting movement is understanding that we serve a Triune missionary God, who has sent us into the world to bless people and seek transformation. V3 exists to help start disciple making churches that are a sign, foretaste and instrument of God’s kingdom.
