Celebrating Five Years, So That All...Might Know


God has done so much through The Church at Grace Point and we are so thankful. It is only by God's power, grace and mercy that he has brought us to where we are today; a church family of nearly 600 people who desire to worship one God.

We desire now for Grace Point to celebrate all that He has done for us; for providing for us, for using us to save lives, for using us to strengthen families, for using us to spread the gospel around the world, for teaching us more about who He is, and helping us learn more about His infinite powers.

Secondly we desire to move forward in worshiping our Lord and Savior by reaching out to those who aren't here yet. We want to reach our neighbors, our coworkers, our acquaintances, the less fortunate, those here in Cleveland , those in our region, those in the United States and those around the world. Yes, that is a broad range of people, but we serve a mighty God who has commissioned us and commanded us to do this very task. We hope you will gather with us and join together in accomplishing what God has laid out for us, so that all...might know. (Joshua 4:24)

LIFE POINTS


Twelve Men from Lee Lannom on Vimeo.

We model our Life Point Groups, our community groups, after Jesus Christ and his twelve disciples. Jesus and the disciples gathered together as a group who desired to grow in their relationship with the Lord, to support each other through the good times and the tough times and to reach out to others who needed to learn about the love of God and salvation that is obtained through Christ.

A challenge for you and your LIFE POINT:

1) Commit to praying for each other, that each person in your group will develop a deeper walk with the Lord. It is through a sincere and powerful love of our Lord that we are able to be used by God.

2) Be a Missional group, look outside the walls of your group, Jesus and his disciples were constantly being sent out to share the message and the love of Christ. Find a way for you and your community group to relate with unbelievers.

3) Devote yourself to the study in which your Group is in and Apply the material to your lives. We study that we may have a better understanding of how God desires us to live.

Amazing things will happen when we follow the life of Christ. We will find fulfillment in Him as will others who do not know Him yet.

So Close Yet So Far Away



Our Haitian neighbors are so close in proximity yet so far from where they need to be physically and spritually. David and Sonya Ownbey will be traveling to Haiti at the end of this month to reach out in love, in care and to share the message of Jesus. We would love for you to help them help the people of Haiti by providing over the counter medical supplies that will assist in aiding the people of Haiti.

Please bring in the over the counter medical supplies (Tylenol, Advil, Band-Aids, anti-fungal creams, anti-infection creams....) to the Church info desk no later than Sunday, Feb. 22nd.
