Our Mission : Ministering the healing presence of Jesus Christ .
Our Vision: To see the local Church become a healing community.
Our Strategy: To minister inner healing and establish healing fellowships throughout the body of Christ .
Many of us live far below the abundance that Jesus came to bring us. We experience emotional trauma or abuse that takes control of us and keeps us bound. We try to cope with the pain in our lives through various strategies that only lead us deeper into despair. Well-intentioned counselors give us good advice, but we remain bound. We think, “There must be more to life than this.” And there really is.
Grace and Truth Fellowship exists for the purpose of bringing the healing presence of Jesus Christ to your emotional wounds. Jesus did not teach people to cope with affliction; He healed them. He still does. Through the use of many Christ-centered disciplines we apply biblical truth to bring healing to past wounds and emotional trauma. These past wounds manifest themselves in the present in depression, compulsive behaviors, anger, and addictions of every kind as well as relational difficulties with those around us. There is healing for all of these in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ was the fullness of Grace and Truth as the scripture says. Grace is the enabling power of God that flows toward our need for healing, and it is the Truth that brings freedom to us. We minister Grace and Truth in the reality of the presence of Jesus Christ, “The One Who was, and is, and is to come.”
Some of us are locked in cycles of generational bondage, but Jesus became a curse for us. Others of us carry the pain of past wounding with us every day, but Jesus took every wound that we have ever suffered upon Himself. The purpose of our ministry is to help you appropriate the healing power of the cross of Jesus Christ and to live a new life in the freedom purchased by His blood.
Part of our ministry is to raise up and equip new healing teams in local churches and to provide resources and additional training to those in the ministry of inner healing. We work along side and are supported by local Churches as they walk beside those who are healed.
Grace and Truth Fellowship does not have a strategy or a religious program to bring you healing. We have the manifest presence of the Lord Jesus Christ Who has all the healing you need. Jesus' reading of the scriptures in Luke's Gospel summarizes the ministry of Grace and Truth.
" THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, 19 TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." Luke 4:18-19
