Port of Grace

Love God: We're learning to love God. Not because it's the religious thing to do!
We're learning to love God because we've discovered that God has loved us unconditionally, mercifully and sacrificially. To say that God is madly in love with people is just to scratch the surface of how deep, wide and high God's love is. Because of God's wonderful love forus, we're learning to love him more everyday.

Love People: When Jesus walked this earth he showed us that, in God's Kingdom, people were of highest value. His desire is that just as he considered us more valuable than his own life, we would learn to consider others, their value and their needs, not just ourselves and our needs. As a result we're into meeting each others needs, as well as the needs of those around us who don't know Jesus, because through us, Jesus wants to love the people in our life, regardless of who they are and where they find themselves.

Authenticity: At POG you can be the real you. We don't want you to be anyone else.
We have discovered that it's in honesty and confession that we find freedom from the things that hold us back from being the people we were created to be. In truth and honesty we walk the journey towards who we could and should be in Jesus Christ.

Mission: We believe that God has called us to serve the world beyond our four walls.
That ministry is not to be only about us. We get excited about doing things that bless our community. As a result we do things like not charging for the use of our building when we open it up to our community. We get involved when the city has canal days, we even look for opportunities to serve other people in practical ways; like serving pizza at the end of the month, when the welfare cheques are running out. We're learning to get more and
more excited about this kind of stuff - the stuff close to our Father's heart.
