“The Grace Filipino Methodist Church is a church born of Grace, supernaturally revealed, renewed, and shared by every member - gone out from the shackles of dogmatism and legalism.”
Grace
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Saved by Grace
Our salvation is entirely the work of God's sovereign grace. We were dead in our trespasses and sins, unable to save ourselves, yet God, rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ. We stand before Him not because of our merit, works, or righteousness, but because of His unmerited favor revealed in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9
As we grow in our Christian walk, we continually return to the cross, recognizing that every blessing, every victory, and every step of sanctification flows from God's grace alone. Soli Deo Gloria—to God alone be the glory.
Strengthened by Faith
The Christian life is lived by faith from beginning to end. The same faith through which we receive Christ is the faith through which we persevere, trusting in God's promises, resting in His providence, and relying upon His Word. Through trials, uncertainties, and challenges, God strengthens His people by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the means of grace He has ordained.
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." — Romans 10:17
As disciples of Christ, we eagerly submit ourselves to the authority of Scripture, seeking wisdom not from the shifting opinions of the world but from God's infallible Word. Our confidence is not in ourselves, but in Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.
United by Love
The gospel not only reconciles us to God but also unites us to one another as members of Christ's body. Having received the immeasurable love of God in Christ, we are called to demonstrate that love through humility, service, forgiveness, and mutual encouragement. The church is a covenant community bound together not by culture, background, or personal preference, but by our shared union with Christ.
"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." — John 13:35
As we worship, serve, and grow together, we seek to reflect the love that Christ has shown us. United in truth, grounded in grace, and empowered by faith, we strive to glorify God and make His name known to the world.
