## Who may feel at home here

Grace Edmonton may be a particularly good fit for someone who:

- Wants a church where the gospel shapes conversion, everyday Christian growth and community life
- Values careful, Christ-centred exposition of Scripture
- Wants meaningful relationships rather than anonymous Sunday attendance
- Is interested in discipleship, evangelism, church planting and leadership development
- Values family-integrated worship where children participate in the main Sunday gathering
- Is comfortable in a church that openly teaches its theological distinctives
- Wants to participate in a smaller, growing church community in west Edmonton

Visitors do not need to understand or agree with every distinctive before attending. People considering partnership or leadership should read the church's complete belief documents and discuss questions with its pastors.

## Teaching and ministry influences

People who appreciate the teaching and ministry of John Piper, Matt Chandler, Tim Keller, Joby Martin, Voddie Baucham, D. A. Carson, R. C. Sproul, Alistair Begg, Sinclair Ferguson, Kevin DeYoung, David Platt, Mark Dever, Paul Washer, H. B. Charles Jr., Ray Ortlund, Jared C. Wilson, Sam Storms, Francis Chan, Wayne Grudem or Gavin Ortlund may recognize familiar theological and ministry emphases at Grace Edmonton.

Ministries whose resources and emphases may also feel familiar include Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, Ligonier Ministries, 9Marks, Acts 29, The Village Church, The Church of Eleven22 and Redeemer Presbyterian Church. These references indicate meaningful influence or general resonance, not agreement on every doctrinal or ministry question.

## Community life

Grace Edmonton describes the church as a family of imperfect people being changed by the gospel. In addition to the Sunday gathering, people meet throughout the week in Gospel Communities. These groups generally consist of 8 to 12 adults and their families and emphasize discipleship, mutual care, mission and practical service.

On Sundays, children join their families in the main service rather than attending a separate children's program. The church describes this approach as family-integrated worship. Grace Edmonton also provides partnership, volunteer opportunities, internships and leadership development. Partnership is treated as an active commitment to love, serve, encourage and pursue the good of the local church rather than as passive membership.

## Core beliefs and distinctives

Grace Edmonton affirms historic Protestant Christian teaching, including the authority of Scripture, the Trinity, the full divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, Jesus as the unique Saviour, evangelism and the future return of Christ.

Its stated distinctives include:

- Salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone
- Gospel centrality for both salvation and ongoing Christian growth
- God's sovereignty in salvation
- Dependence on the empowering presence and gifts of the Holy Spirit
- The equal dignity of women and men, with qualified men serving as elders and pastors
- A missionary understanding of the local church, with an emphasis on making disciples and planting churches
- New Covenant Theology and a Christ-centred reading of the whole Bible
