Our Values:
The people of Darby Grace believe that God working through the local church is the hope of the world. The mission of Darby Grace Brethren Church: To honor God and help His people grow in faith and express it through love. Darby Grace is a member of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches and subscribes to the Charis Commitment to Common Identity.
Biblical:“All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Bible is central to our understanding of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit as well as his standards and his plan for salvation.
Relational: God calls us to love one another. “ A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so must love one another” (John 13:34). This community of believers will follow the command of the Lord Jesus Christ and be like the church in the second chapter of the Book of Acts. Members will strive to love, support, encourage and if needed admonish one another.
Missional:“Therefore go and make disciples of the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20). Darby Grace will work to reach the lost in our “Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
Prayerful:“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth ” (1 Timothy 2: 1-4).
Darby Grace will consist of people that pray and seek the will of God. Prayer is key to the success of any ministry.

Our Logo:
There is meaning behind the leaf logo of Darby Grace. The leaf is that of a sycamore tree, common along the Big Darby and Little Darby Rivers. In fact, it only grows near water such as a stream or river. This reminds us of how dependent we are on the Living Water of God and that we can be like a tree planted near water (Psalm 1). The sycamore tree was the type of tree that Zacchaeus climbed to get a better view of Jesus Christ (Luke 19). It is our prayer that Darby Grace will be used by God to allow people to better see the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. – Psalm 1:3
