At our core we are about missions. Consider our Guiding Principles.

Grace is not just a church for ourselves, but at its core one for our friends who don’t yet believe.
Grace is not just a church for ourselves but for the North Shore, the city of Chicago, and the world. We don’t want just a great church, but a greatly redeemed community, city, and world.
Grace is not just about building a single church, but, God willing, we’re about a movement of the gospel that will partner with and start other churches. The reason behind this is that the Church of Jesus Christ consists of people of every ethnicity, culture, language, race, class, nation and culture. One particular congregation cannot adequately express this beautiful reality. But we can be a part of making it an increasing reality in the communities around us, in our city and world.
We are already involved in sending and supporting overseas missionaries and look forward to increasing our involvement.

We are actively looking toward our first “daughter” church which might well be focused upon one of the many people groups whose primary language is not English who make the North Shore their home.

God has blessed us with all kinds of financial, and talent-based resources which we look forward to increasingly investing toward missions – because, ”Grace is not just a church for ourselves…”
