Our Mission
Our Core Values
We are committed to being a welcoming and inclusive community. We do not discriminate based on age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, faith-tradition, ability, or cultural background.

Love God, love others, love ourselves.

Learn More About What We Believe
We believe that, above all else, God is love. We also believe that God's love was put on full display through the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We believe that the image of God's divine love is infused into the DNA of every human being (Genesis 1). That image gets blurred and distorted by violence, brokenness, and evil (in all its forms) which causes deep woundedness and chaos in our lives and in our world. Consquently, human beings routinely fall short of God's glory and the divinity that we were created to reflect in this world.
Even so, we believe that Love is bigger than our shortfalls, evil, or brokenness, and that in the end, Love has the power to (re)define and (re)claim who we truly are as God's children, as Children of the Light.
Our Team
We are a small, but growing team filled with incredible and passionate individuals who whole-heartedly believe in the Pointe of Grace mission and vision.
