ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Grace Fellowship Church Edmonton was planted in 2021 when a small group of families was sent out to establish a new gospel-proclaiming church in southeast Edmonton. After more than four years of prayerful preparation with our sending church, we held our first Sunday service on May 16, 2021—with just 13 people gathered to worship. From that small beginning, we’ve seen the Lord faithfully build His church as we’ve sought to grow into a biblical, spiritually healthy congregation—one that heralds the gospel, preaches the whole counsel of God, and makes disciples of Jesus Christ.
At the heart of our identity is a joyful confidence in the doctrines of grace: that God sovereignly and graciously saves sinners according to His perfect will. We take the Great Commission seriously by proclaiming Christ locally and globally and by supporting the advance of the gospel around the world. We believe theologically rich, expository preaching is central to the life and worship of the church. We also place a strong emphasis on raising up leaders through intentional discipleship and theologically sound instruction marked by biblical fidelity.
Since our beginning, we’ve watched the Lord work in ways far beyond anything we could have asked or imagined. Today, we are a growing, multigenerational church family that includes singles, families, seniors, and children—whom we joyfully include in our gathered worship each week. Together, we draw near to God in prayer, lift our voices in loud songs of praise, sit under the preaching of God's Word, and remember the finished work of Christ as we celebrate the Lord’s Supper each Sunday.
We are humbled and excited to see what God is building here. If you are looking for a church that treasures Jesus Christ, holds fast to the truth of Scripture, and seeks to live out the Christian life joyfully and faithfully, we would love to welcome you to Grace Fellowship Church.
OUR MISSION
We exist to proclaim the excellencies of God and make disciples of Jesus Christ.
OUR DISTINCTIVES
Expository Preaching
When the church meets for worship, one activity stands alone in its primacy and priority: the faithful proclamation of God's Word. We are committed to systematically preaching through the Bible, verse-by-verse, as we teach the church how to understand and apply the whole counsel of God.
Prayer
We have been granted confident and unhindered access to God through prayer. Though the ministry of prayer is easily neglected, it is our mightiest ally and greatest privilege. We are committed to keeping the corporate prayer meeting alive and encouraging a lifestyle of dependent and steadfast prayer.
Fellowship
As a church family, we strive to cultivate genuine Christian fellowship that extends far beyond our Sunday worship. We make it our aim to know, love, encourage, admonish, serve, comfort, and pray for one another--for the witness of the gospel, the good of the church, and the glory of God.
Family
The family is a primary concern in God’s redemptive plan. We believe one the best ways to promote healthy families and preserve the faith multi-generationally is to integrate every member of the family in the regular worship and service of the church. We disciple fathers to lead and mothers to help, as they fulfill their blessed duty to nurture, instruct, and guide their children in godliness.
Discipleship
The church has been charged by Christ to make disciples, and we take that calling seriously. We aim to encourage and instruct one another to observe all that Christ has commanded. To that end, we regularly meet one-on-one and in small groups for intentional discipleship. In all of this, we desire to grow together in Christlikeness as we follow Him in faith and obedience.
Missions & Evangelism
We have good news to announce to the nations! In response to Christ's Great Commission, we aim to faithfully herald Jesus Christ and Him crucified to the world around us. We live as a church committed to the mission, engaging in and generously supporting the proclamation of the gospel locally and abroad.
