Vision Statement

Changing lives, transforming communities, empowering disciples.
Seeing God change lives and spiritually awaken the regional and working communities of Greenhithe, North Shore and beyond.

Mission Statement

Inspiring kiwis to connect Christ to their everyday lives and live extraordinarily for Him.
For secular kiwis, ‘religion’ has to make sense to their everyday lives at work, at ‘play’ and to the rough and tumble of life in the 21st century. We want to show that it’s not about ‘religion’ but a meaningful relationship and need for God and that living faith filled lives connects naturally with everyday living and felt needs.

Our Motto

Faith for Life.

The Six E's (E - ssentials) at Shore Grace

Exalt Christ in life and worship (worship)

Encourage spiritual growth in community (discipleship/community)

Empower disciples for mission and evangelism (evangelism/mission)

Equip the church for ministry and multiplication (ministry - sp. gifts, giving)

Extend God's grace and love to those in need (compassion/community)

Effect change for God in the community (community transformation)

Question for initiatives: do they exalt Christ; encourage spiritual growth in community, empower mission & evangelism; equip the church; extend God's grace; effect community change for God?
