A Church Anyone Can Come To

We're Grace Community Christian Church (formerly First Christian Church), a non-denominational church that exists to meet the needs of people in Central Maryland.

Through exciting programs and contemporary messages, we seek to connect the unconnected to God's message of love, hope, and new beginnings through the amazing grace of Jesus Christ.

Look further into our website to learn more about us, or contact us directly. When the truths of historic Christianity are put into current terms, not only are they relevant, they're life changing.

iGod: What happens when
"The God" is replaced with iGod

I love my iPhone. It fits in my pocket. It runs the apps I choose. It is completely customizable. I can choose to ignore it if I want. It keeps me connected to my world, and to the world, literally. It empowers me. Enlightens me. Amuses me. It is both tool and toy. And it’s constantly improving. Many of us view God the same way. We want “a god” that we make according to what we think we need, rather than “the God” who is bent on making us into something we’re not sure we want to become. In Jim's new "iGod" series, we begin looking at the Old Testament Book of Judges, what one writer called “God’s little shop of horrors”. And it is. Because Judges is the account of what happens to people when The God is replaced with iGod.

What We Believe

We Believe in God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and that they are distinct personalities with distinct roles, but one God. And that One God is the Creator of the universe.

We Believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, the Son of God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and was raised from the grave. He will return as our victorious Lord.

We Believe our salvation comes only through Jesus Christ and cannot be earned. It is a gift of God.

We Believe faith in Jesus requires repentance, confession of that faith before witnesses, and obedience to His Word. Baptism by immersion demonstrates our faith and obedience while it depicts our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

We Believe everyone who accepts Christ has the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who acts as a Comforter, Guide and Advocate.

We Believe the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God in its entirety and that it does not contradict itself. It is our guide.

We Believe the church, as the body of Christ, is the extension of Jesus Christ's character, attitude, behavior, and mission in our world today.

We Believe God gives gifts to both men and women through the Holy Spirit for the benefit of the church's ministry.

We Believe that humility in prayer is the foundation for all we do and that celebrating communion together weekly is beneficial for all Christians.
