Our Message
Bible Based & Jesus Centered
At the very heart of Gospel Grace Church is the ministry of the Word. While we don't worship the Bible, we do worship the God who has made Himself known in and through the Bible. The Bible does far more than merely record and describe the acts of God in times past. It reveals God and God reveals Himself in it.
At Gospel Grace Church we believe that the Bible truly reveals the nature of God, of the world and of mankind. We believe that the truths found in the Bible are timeless because God is timeless. The Bible tells the story of the God who created the world, the story of humanity in their rebellion against and exile from God and the story of how God is redeeming and restoring humanity along with all creation in and through Jesus Christ.
At Gospel Grace Church we are centered on Jesus because the Bible is centered on Jesus. From the opening pages of Genesis through the final words in Revelation, the bible is one unified story that leads us to Jesus.
Our Model
Word & Deed
At Gospel Grace Church everything we do is based on the Word of God ... and the Word of God calls us to live out our faith as followers of Jesus. Faithfulness to the Bible means faithfulness to God and faithfulness to God means lives lived as ambassadors for Jesus in and for our community.
Our Mission
To Make Much of Jesus in Woodstock.
It is the mission of Gospel Grace Church to make much of Jesus in Woodstock. Every human being has been created in God's Image and is meant to find satisfaction and fulfillment in God alone. But there's a problem: Sin has been unleashed in the world and in our hearts and, because of this, every person is alienated from God.
This is where Jesus comes in. The good news of the gospel message is that Jesus has made a way for any of us to be brought back to God, to find satisfaction and fulfillment in God. Jesus has taken the punishment for sin and offers the gift of His righteousness to all who will believe in Him. Because of this, there is a way back to God ... a way to true and lasting satisfaction and fulfillment in relationship with God. In other words, Jesus has done everything necessary to obtain for us the true, increasing and eternal satisfaction of our souls in the presence of God Almighty. We believe that this is worth making much of!

Our Facilities
An Existing Building ... A New Church
Gospel Grace Church has acquired use of the building located at 1903 N. Seminary Ave here in Woodstock. This building has been a fixture on N. Seminary Ave for decades and we are thankful for the opportunity to begin a fresh new work in a building that has been a part of the Woodstock landscape long before we arrived.
