Our Lead Pastors have a heart to reach our city and planted Grace Life Church over 26 years ago. They desire for people to hear the life-transforming message of Jesus and to know how loved they are.
That the Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative written Word of God.
That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, miracles, substitutionary and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
That the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that by God’s grace through faith alone we are saved.
That Water Baptism is an act of publicly acknowledging and identifying with Jesus Christ.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
In the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as given to believers who ask for it.
In the giving of tithes and offerings out of what God has graciously given us, in order to meet the needs of the church, for ministering to those who attend, and for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
In the healing power of God and recovery of the sick through the laying on of hands according to Mark 16:18.
Grace Life Church meets Sundays at both of our campuses in Monroeville, PA and Pittsburgh, PA. We’re excited to meet you!
