(Growing Rich Around Christian Education)

 Our name, "GRACE" stands for Growing Rich Around Christian Education.  We want to be a Christian group that helps one another spiritually as well as educationally.  We all may have some different philosophies about education, and may have some different spiritual beliefs, but basically, this is what we mean by being a "Christian" group:            

1. We believe in one eternal Creator God in three persons - the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, was God come in the flesh being fully God and fully man, yet without sin.  We seek to live our life to glorify our Lord, worship and revere Him, and seek His help.
2. We believe the Bible is the only and complete living Word of God which He uses to speak to our hearts and which gives us instruction in all areas of life.  In His sovereign power, He has kept it without error and the final authority on what is truth.
3. We believe that all men are sinners who fall short of the holiness that God intended, requiring eternal punishment, and yet can be redeemed through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He became the perfect sacrifice to pay our penalty through His death on the cross.  We can participate in His death and resurrection through repentance of our sin and faith in Him.  This salvation is a free gift, not depending on our personal works, but results in godly actions.
4. We believe the family is the basic governmental, social and spiritual unit created by God.  In it, the child gradually learns self-government, social relationships, and develops a relationship to the Creator and Savior. The ultimate responsibility for the education of the children belongs to parents.  All education is religious in nature since one's view o the world and life inevitably is involved in teaching.  Thus, all knowledge and training should have as its beginning the fear of God and its end the glory of God. In all these we hope to encourage one another.  If you are seeking this kind of fellowship and support group, we welcome you.
