What does it mean to be a member of Mountaintop Grace Community?

Before we answer that question, it must be said that ALL are welcome to attend MGC services and activities, regardless of membership.

We see stepping into membership as an expression of your commitment to the local church as a follower of Jesus. We do not desire for this to feel oppressive in any way, but we do take seriously that our walk with Jesus together in Christian community is to be expressed in a deep love and devotion to one another within the church, overflowing to those outside the church. When lived out in the love of Jesus, this should be a “win-win” for all involved.

We believe all who come to God through Jesus in repentance and faith, placing their trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, have been included by God into His “Church” - a people of God, eternally saved by His grace, consisting worldwide and throughout time of every believer in Jesus. The Church finds its local expression in communities of Jesus-disciples who together devote themselves to worship and to love God, love one another, and love their neighbor in Jesus’ name. This threefold commitment is the primary objective of membership at Mountaintop Grace Community.
