Our Calling

In response to the gospel, God has called Grace North Atlanta to be a worshiping community, experiencing the depth and beauty of a spirituality rooted in a theology of grace, teaching the Word of God, nurturing marriages, families, and young leaders in the way of the cross, and sending us to love the world with the gospel.

Can you see what we see?

Sometimes the way of the world blurs our vision. At Grace North Atlanta we see Christ building a community of followers in whom…grace overcomes sin, life overcomes death, freedom overcomes fear, forgiveness overcomes hurt, relationship overcomes isolation, love overcomes hate, virtue overcomes vice, truth overcomes deception, goodness overcomes evil, beauty overcomes the grotesque, compassion overcomes indifference. Put simply, we see a community in whom the way of the cross is overcoming the way of the world.

Dreaming just a little…

Someone once said, ‘Small plans do not inflame the hearts of men.’ What do we envision Grace North Atlanta being five to ten years down the road? Our vision is not tied to quantifiable criteria like numbers, budgets and buildings but is primarily focused on people and relationships.

We see the gospel changing lives, the gospel of grace bringing rest
for the soul…

Our vision is for the God of all grace to bring us to embrace and experience the gospel whether for the first time or the four-thousandth time, f or the Lord to nurture our marriages and children through a deeper experience of the gospel, and for Him to give us greater freedom from our own idolatry and self-centeredness.

We see the gospel overcoming racial and social divisions…

Most churches reach a homogenous demographic group. There is nothing necessarily wrong about that. We believe the Lord has called us to love and serve people across the demographic spectrum – from leaders in business and commerce to teachers and educators, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, young folks and the elderly, the down-and-outers and the up-and-inners. God intends the gospel to forge a new family of God not restricted by racial or socio-economic boundaries. The gospel as understood by the biblical writers tells us that social divisions have been overturned because of the gospel. In fact, nothing could be more central to the Scriptures than the fact that God in redemptive history is making out of all peoples the one people of God. A church that intentionally cultivates multi-ethnic relationships serves as a foretaste of what is to come in eternity when the church will worship as the one people of God from every tongue, nation and tribe. The gospel is on display for the world to see when the church overcomes racial barriers while our witness is impoverished when such a vision of the gospel is not embraced. This is one of the greatest opportunities for the church in our cultural moment if we can merely muster the courage to risk loving one another, even those not like us.

We see the Lord raising up leaders and resources for the kingdom…

We also believe the Lord has called us to participate with other churches and para-church organizations in raising up the next generation of leaders for the kingdom. We believe in God’s providence that there are pockets of power and privilege in north Atlanta not merely for us to enjoy in isolation from the areas of need in Atlanta – but we believe the Lord wants to create bridges between these pockets of power and privilege and the pockets of poverty and need in other areas of Atlanta.

We see Christ seeking the shalom of the city and suburbia…

Many Christian pastors and thinkers have recently focused on the need for churches to seek the shalom of the city. Understandably, the resounding call from these prophetic voices have focused on the needs of urban areas. For too long evangelicals, especially Reformed-evangelical churches like the ours in the PCA, have neglected the way of the cross that might have led them to care for and love pockets of need in urban centers. But just as the recent opening of Encore Park in Alpharetta illustrates the rich culture and appreciation for the arts that exists in suburbia, in like fashion suburbia must not be written off as the church re-engages God’s calling to seek the shalom of the city. In fact, focusing merely on seeking the shalom of the inner-city without simultaneously seeking the shalom of suburbia is a doomed strategy. The shalom of suburbia must also be sought for their shalom is reciprocally related in the shalom of urban areas, unless of course we have a very superficial understanding of the biblical concept of shalom. In other words, it is only when churches in pockets of power and privilege intentionally mobilize resources for churches and communities in pockets of poverty and need will either have a chance of experiencing true lasting shalom.

We see the beauty of the body of Christ in action…

The vision described here is really the beauty of the body of Christ that Paul urges in 2 Corinthians 8 with regards to wealth. In keeping with this, we believe the Lord has called us to give away more money than we spend on ourselves. We have already begun praying the Lord will enable us to give away literally tens of millions of dollars for the sake of the Kingdom in the years to come. We believe therefore that God has not only called Grace to bring the gospel of grace to those in the north Atlanta area, but that in the years to come, Grace will be a thoughtfully Reformed ‘resource church’ giving away millions of dollars for the sake of the kingdom and building ‘bridges of grace’ from pockets of power and privilege to the pockets of poverty and need in Atlanta and the world.
