Mission
Our mission is to faithfully proclaim the Gospel of Grace to the glory of God and the transformation of man. Grace desires to be a place where God is glorified, believers are edified, and the lost are evangelized. Jesus gave His disciples their marching orders.
He commanded, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo,
I am with you always, even to the end of the age”
Missionary outreach in Italy.
We are committed to missionary outreach. Our missionary field is the nation of Italy. A country rich in culture and art, plagued with political corruption, with cults and sects, secularism, occult and superstition often swept under the carpet by the Roman Catholic authorities as "popular religion" and lurking secretly among the Pentecostal and Charismatic groups of various names. Although the majority of Italians do not declare themselves to be atheists, they would be anti-clerical, in spite of recent mass beatifications decreed by the Vatican. There is indeed a need for the true Gospel to be preached as there are many people seeking answers to spiritual issues. Italy has been described as the graveyard of missionaries as, sadly, many well meaning missionaries have failed to understand the Italian culture, the overwhelming and dominating influence of the Roman Catholic church and their initial missionary endeavours have been undermined, taken over or even destroyed by a treacherous Evangelical ecumenism not based on the truth of the Scriptures, but on expediency. We have developed a network of Italian contacts throughout the national territory of believers seeking sound and biblical teaching with the view of seeing the birth of local reformed churches.
Homeland Biblical evangelism.
Thousands and thousands of people in our land never set foot in a church building, never attend a service of worship and never have an opportunity to hear the gospel. We would like encourage Biblical evangelism in its various aspects from traditional leaflet distribution to open-air preaching. We do not endorse preaching techniques and gimmicks which dishonour God and undermine the seriousness of the Gospel.
Teaching sound doctrine
Sound doctrine in the Christian faith is accurate Bible teaching. “Doctrine” can be defined as the central beliefs that are held by a group of people and “sound” implies that something is reliable. Therefore, when churches spend more time entertaining people and giving shallow sermons, they are not fulfilling what a church is supposed to do and be. We must be preaching and teaching the central beliefs of the Christian faith based on what the Bible teaches—regardless of how the world around us is changing.
