GOD DESIRES THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THE MOST EXCITING, PURPOSE-FILLED LIFE IMAGINABLE. HE LONGS FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
OUR MISSION:
To lead people towards Jesus
WHY THE NAME GRUMLAW?
When French settlers first arrived in the area and before Grand Blanc was ever named Grand Blanc, it was called “Grumlaw.” By naming the church Grumlaw, the community is literally engrained in our identity and name.
We want to be a church that serves Grand Blanc and the surrounding area- a church that is a part of the community.
THE GRUMLAW SEVEN
This is our strategy. These help us measure how we’re doing and they keep us on track towards our mission.
WEEKENDS
Attend weekly services and begin exploring and experiencing your Creator.
BAPTISM
Once you put your faith in Jesus, then it’s time to go public with your faith through water Baptism.
DAILY ENCOUNTER
God desires to have a personal relationship with you- this only happens through daily interaction with Him.
GENEROSITY
Everything that we have comes from God. Together we gather a percentage of our income to help build the local Church and make an impact in our communities. Over 10% of every dollar given to Grumlaw goes directly to planting churches across the globe.
GROUPS
Life is not meant to be faced alone. That is why we have created Connect Groups. These groups allow you to connect with God and each other on a deeper level- we are created for community!
SERVE
Not only does God call us to be generous with our finances, but with our time and talents as well. He desires for you to use your gifts to have an impact in the world and help build the local church.
SHARE
God calls all Jesus followers to share His life changing message with others. This occurs through intentional discipleship and sharing with those in our sphere of influence (where we work, eat, shop, and play).
WITH CHRIST AT THE CENTER, WE ARE DRIVEN BY GENEROSITY, TRUTH, EXCELLENCE, AND CREATIVITY.
OUR VALUES ARE THE CONVICTIONS THAT GUIDE OUR ACTIONS AND REVEAL THE STRENGTHS OF GRUMLAW. THEY GUIDE HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR MISSION TO LEAD PEOPLE TOWARDS JESUS.
1. ASSUME THE BEST
Rather than being quick to jump to the negative or pointing out faults in others, we will assume the best in people. We will cling to the positive rather than the negative. When we do this, we model what Christ did for every one of us.
2. CELEBRATE CREATIVITY
We have an exceedingly creative God who created us to be in community. When we celebrate the creativity of others, we are willing to push forward the ideas that are best for the greater whole rather than what we see as the best for ourselves.
3. MAKE IT BETTER
We will always strive to leave it better than we found it- in all areas of life, but particularly with people. It’s so easy to be apathetic and take on the attitude of, “it’s not my problem.” But when we are constantly driven to “make it better” it’s best for you and “the you” beside you.
4. ALWAYS BE TEACHABLE
In virtually every situation, there is something to be learned if we take a posture of humility. Teachability goes beyond a desire to learn, but a willingness to change. In all situations we will push ourselves to ask, “what can I learn from this?”
5. GIVE IT UP
We never look more like Jesus than when we are being generous- with our time, talents, and treasure. In a world that screams, “keep everything for yourself,” Jesus teaches the complete opposite- “give it up!” We will strive to be a community that is known, first and foremost, by our generosity.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity and the son of God- He became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to save us.
We believe that all people were created in the image of God and were designed to have relationship with Him. However, all people have sinned, and in turn, ruined that relationship with Him. Through our own efforts, we are incapable of mending that relationship.
We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God without error because the writers were moved by the Spirit of God to write those words. It is the only book that has the power to transform lives.
We believe that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as payment for their sin.
We believe baptism is an outward expression of an inward commitment- it is a declaration to the world that we have received salvation through Jesus and symbolizes His death, burial, and resurrection.
We believe all Jesus followers should live a life for Jesus, not themselves. This occurs through obedience to the Word of God and daily submission to the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus is the head. The members of the Church are those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. The purpose of the Church is to glorify God and make Him known throughout the world.
