About GraceLife

GraceLife was founded on March 23rd, 2008 Easter Sunday by a group of dedicated individuals who wanted to create a welcoming space for all people. Since then, we have grown into a vibrant community that serves our members and our city. We are here to give you hope and peace. We are here to tell you there is good news for all. We are here to tell you there is rest in Christ. We are here to tell you there is something to rejoice about; you are righteous. We are here to tell you it is all a lie; you are loved. We are here to tell you the truth; you are enough. Open your eyes and see. Open your ears and hear. Open your hearts and accept the good news of the oneness of Christ. 

We are a community awakening to the beauty, acceptance, revelation, truth, and goodness within us ALL. Our community encourages the free flow of ideas and questions and promotes conversation. We do not control the narrative by manipulating people.

Many are waking up to the fear-based manufactured doctrines of religion. People have genuinely experienced harsh realities within Christian communities, and they need to be able to talk about it without judgment, condemnation, and fear of sharing their experiences. When people move away from fear-based doctrines and legalism and toward love, acceptance, equality, peace, and grace for all, they are seen as a threat by the institutional church.

The gospel is the good news about the redemption of humanity without the need of man’s religious works, efforts or beliefs to be redeemed. It is not about changing your destiny from hell to heaven. You were born into an eternal destiny in the presence of God and that without need for your belief and without your involvement whatsoever. The search is over! You are complete! Completely loved. Completely forgiven. Completely accepted. And completely united to Christ. That’s the gospel of peace.

Start Living The GraceLife free from religion.

At GraceLife, we are committed to serving our community and sharing the love of Christ. We believe that everyone is welcome in our community, and we strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all people.

GraceLife is an inclusive ever-evolving affirming spiritual community waking up to the beauty of truth, equality and love for ALL. Seeking to live out a more just and generous lifestyle of compassion, acceptance, support and oneness. We think that faith is less about religious doctrines and dogmas demanding total agreement and more about a life to be lived, enjoyed, and shared with others. 

What unites us is a growing awareness that life is a gift and love is the point. Love God, Love others, and Love yourself. We want to learn how to love better, and share that with the world around us. We welcome the entire human family regardless of race, age, creed, physical abilities, marital or economic status, gender identity, or sexual orientation. 

We are a group of people working together in unity in order to reach the world with the good news of God’s unconditional love for ALL. We focus on loving God and loving people, not traditions, rituals, or control. We aren't interested in doing things the way they've always been done and leading us nowhere. We want to change how people perceive church and what they experience when they go. We are an emerging community seeking truth and freedom in an evolving world of openness to be who God created you to be.
 

We're committed to loving our enemies, refusing to judge people, being kind, and treating others as we wish to be treated. We seek to love as God loves. As we celebrate God's unconditional love for all people and the new life that is in His Son, Jesus Christ, we hope to become a community where people are Exploring Grace, Experiencing Grace, and Extending Grace, while helping to meet the real needs of real people living real lives in the real world.

Let us start Living The GraceLife His/Grace, His/Life, Our/Peace, and live full of love for one another. We are ONE!

GraceLife is not about putting a chokehold on the functioning of the body of Christ by silencing our community. We do not mute those in the community, or force them to just be a pew sitter and never evolving within themselves. We are open to questions, doubts, fears and even allow people to share what they are thinking about or what they have struggled with during the week. In most churches that is outrageous! You would be considered “out of order” and asked to behave yourself, leave or called into the pastor’s office to remind you that you are in their church and the rules are x, y, and z. In most cases the sheep are to stay quiet and submit to the shepherd with his staff the Bible. 

Once you come to grips with the fact that you don't care what people think about your beliefs, you will be free to believe and think for yourself. Many good people in the church have used the Bible to abuse, bully, shame, and rule over people without regard for the hurt, pain, and mental illness it can cause. 

Compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, equality, and love for All humanity continue to challenge the church today. Many find space outside the judgment, condemnation, shaming, bullying, shunning, punishment, and fear-based doctrines of the church. 

Many denominations have twisted God's unconditional love into eternal punishment doctrines. If God is love, we have no separation from Him, and love wins. Christ has done much more than our manufactured doctrines and traditions of men give Him credit for. Many have taken grace out of His finished work and disguised it as love for some faithful followers.

People just won't let Christ get in the way of their bad theology, and that's been going on for centuries. Until our focus becomes Christ-centered and His love for ALL humanity and not just because we were feared to believe, we'll continue to focus on ourselves, our doctrines, our views, and our beliefs of an angry God who is out to get those who choose to wrong Him. If we are willing to open our hearts to God's unconditional love for ALL. We can begin to experience a greater understanding of His love for ALL and begin to heal, accept, and love each other as ONE!
