Our Mission Statement
Because we are unconditionally loved by God
We are children and servants
of God. We believe that we have received salvation through the grace of
God and Jesus Christ. We are guided in our thoughts,
prayers, and actions by: the Bible, the Holy Spirit who dwells within
each of us, and our Church's (PCUSA) traditions.
We develop our faith through
worship, prayer, and Christian Education. This prepares us for local and
global missions, community involvement, and spreading
God's good news to others. We are strengthened in our service
to God through the support and fellowship of the Christian family of Grace
Presbyterian Church. All people are welcome and encouraged
to join our church family.
We're Here To Help
Our service to Jesus begins
with taking care of ourselves (nine deacons care for shut-ins, the sick,
and the distressed), but we also reach out to the community.
An active prayer chain brings many issues before God in prayer.
We also reach out with volunteer help to various community organizations.
Our mission dollars are currently distributed among the
following: Winona Volunteer Services, Women's Resource Center,
Winona Hospice Coalition, Home Share (SEMCAC), DARE, and our denominational
missions (Theological Education Fund, General Assembly
Synod, Presbytery, One Great Hour of Sharing, Peacemaking Fund,
Christmas Joy Offering, etc.). Other mission organizations receive funds
from time to time as various needs arise.
We're Here For The Long Haul
In 1952, Grace Presbyterian
Church was formed through the merger of two churches: an English-speaking
Presbyterian church established in 1856; and a predominantly German Presbyterian
church established in 1864. As a member of the Presbyterian
Church U.S.A., we have solid traditions, doctrines and support which tie
us to the larger Body of Christ. Our congregation of approximately
140 adult members is committed to serving our Lord, and to
one another.
