OUR MISSION

We are a multi-ethnic church committed to teaching biblical truth, loving people well, and building a Christ-centered community across generations.

She holds a dark acoustic guitar and smiles down gently at a toddler girl standing in front of her. The little girl, with her hair in a small ponytail, wears a beige cardigan over a white shirt and light pants, and reaches out an inquisitive hand toward the guitar strings while holding a snack in her other hand.

We ground ourselves in the honesty, resilience, and diversity that built New York City and seek to meet people where they are in their faith journey.

We welcome people to come as they are in order to receive Jesus, and be transformed and strengthened through God’s Word.

GROUNDED

We envision a multi-ethnic and inter-generational church, built and grounded on the solid foundation of Biblical truth.

We see a church where:

Generations of believers are raised up to love Jesus, know the Bible and carry the gospel
Men and women are discipled into the roles and purpose for which God has designed them
Success is not measured by size, influence, or recognition, but by faithfulness to God’s calling.

We see a church of believers strengthened by the knowledge that everything happens according to God’s will, but that nothing is impossible for God.

GRacious

We desire to become a community led by the Holy Spirit, and shaped by prayer, humility, and hospitality. A villiage of servant-hearted believers, with a genuine love for one another, who rallies together in times of need.

Our prayer is that we become a fellowship who give and serve generously, not because we expect something in return, but with a heart that’s thankful for all that the Lord has given us.

We are committed to building a kingdom community, where people from every culture, generation, and walk of life feel welcomed to come as they are and encounter the transforming grace of Jesus.

Courageous

We seek to become a church that lives out faith, boldly prays for people in everyday life, and shows the fruit of the Spirit.

We believe God has called us to love Queens well. To know our neighbors, serve our community, and build meaningful relationships with local organizations for the good of our city.

We see a courageous team of disciples who go out into the neighborhoods of New York City, and use their God-given gifts to help others.

We know this vision is bigger than us, but we trust in a God who delights in building His church. Our prayer is that He would use Gracehouse to make disciples, strengthen families, serve our community, and bring glory to Christ in Queens and beyond.
