Our Vision
God's vision for our city is that Melbourne might come to know and love Jesus - the one who knows and loves us. We exist to introduce people to Jesus and to help each other journey through life with Him. No matter your background, we'd love to introduce you to know Him and the life that he offers you.

Here at Grace we believe it is both biblical and necessary to provide an added level of support and accountability in the church. An Elder has a significant responsibility to lead the congregation in spiritual matters and help pastoral staff maintain the health of the church.
