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:
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). Darby Grace will consist of people that pray and seek the will of God. Prayer is key to the success of any ministry.
