Grace Community Church was founded in 1997 as a mission church of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since that time Grace Community Church has been serving the families of northern Albemarle County with a unique ministry that is centered on our Lord Jesus Christ and His power to make a difference in our lives. Grace Community Church is a Presbyterian Church in America congregation. The P.C.A. is an evangelical denomination with a commitment to the reliability of the Bible and a passion for reaching the whole world with the good news of Christ.
We think our name says a lot about us. We believe that the central theme of our life together as a church is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our trust in His promise of eternal life links us together as a community of believers, fostering at the same time deep fellowship and great concern for those around us who do not yet share our faith.
Grace Community Church exists to glorify God, applying the gospel of grace to every aspect of life for her members, their children, and the people of northern Albemarle and its surrounding communities.
Grace Community Church belongs to Jesus Christ. We aspire to serve Him faithfully and prayerfully. Our teaching is grounded in God’s word and our worship celebrates His grace. We seek to be an outward focused church that brings the Gospel’s life changing message of hope to our neighbors, community, and the world. We remind one another constantly of the Gospel’s promises. We encourage small group involvement to foster Christian growth and authentic relationships. We understand that ministry and service can take a variety of forms and encourage one another to find creative outlets for expressing God's grace.
