Who we are
Our mission is simple: to welcome our neighbors, to grow together in Christ, and to serve God in our community and world.
Our Mission
At Grace Presbyterian Church, our mission is simple: to welcome our neighbors, to grow together in Christ, and to serve God in our community and world.
Rooted in Christ’s Great Commission and Great Commandment (Matthew 28:18–20; 22:36–40), this mission reflects our conviction that God’s grace, revealed through Jesus Christ, transforms every aspect of life.
Our Vision
To know Jesus and make Him known.
We desire to know and experience Jesus and to make His Kingdom and presence known on the North Shore, in Chicago, and beyond.
What We Believe
Our faith is rooted in the historic creeds of the global church — the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed — and, as Presbyterians, in the Westminster Confession of Faith and its Larger and Shorter Catechisms.
Our Denomination
Grace Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
