The following are expressions of who we are, how we function, and what (or rather "who") we are all about. To learn more about what we believe at Grace Church of DuPage we encourage you explore our Constitution, Doctrinal Statement, and Position Papers, there you will find a more elaborate articulation of our beliefs.
Who is Jesus?
What is Christianity? To whom do we belong and why? Who is Jesus and why are Christians willing to give up everything in our lives to follow him? What is wrong with the world? Can that problem be solved? How can that problem be solved? How do we know?
Our Purpose and Vision Prayer
Our purpose at Grace church of DuPage is to magnify the worth of God by exalting the Savior Jesus Christ, equipping the saints, and extending Christ's Kingdom. Our Vision Prayer is to entrust ourselves to God as we ask, seek, and knock for him to develop us into a community of worshipers that bears much fruit as we live and proclaim the gospel with authenticity and passion. How do we seek the Lord to carry out his purposes in us as a church family? What are our values?
Our History
Grace Church of DuPage was founded in 1984. But how have we witnessed God’s faithfulness and guidance since then? Who has been involved? And how did we come to be who and what we presently are? Here is our story of the journey on which God has brought us thus far.
Pastoral Ministries
In his first century letter to the Ephesians, chapter four, the Apostle Paul laid out a clear vision for the aim pastoral ministry in the local church (Ephesians 4:11-16). What does this mean and how does it define how we function at Grace Church of DuPage?
A Biblical Model of Leadership
Like many Protestant Evangelical congregations, Grace Church of DuPage is overseen by Elders and served by Deacons. But unlike many such congregations, we have labored to define these roles according to Scripture. Several passages in the Bible inform the office and operation of Elders and Deacons, including their character qualifications (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-9), their responsibilities in the body (1 Peter 5:1-4; Acts 20:28), and the nature of the authority they wield (Hebrews 13:17) as gifted and called servants of God and His church (Ephesians 4:11-16).
