The Gospel
In Sovereign Grace Churches, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the center of our confession of faith, our mission to the world, and our lives as Christians.
1 Corinthians 15:1–4 “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.”
“The story of Sovereign Grace Churches over the past three decades is the story of a joyful, steadfast people who are centered on the Savior. 1 Corinthians 2:2 is the resolve that marks our history and continues to shape our culture: “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” Our churches are defined most deeply by our commitment to treasuring Christ together. This intentional emphasis on the person and work of Jesus Christ has marked our past, shapes the present, and is vital for our future as a denomination.”
– Mark Prater, Executive Director of Sovereign Grace Churches
We Treasure the Gospel
“We . . . hold forth the Cross of Christ with a bold hand . . . because that Cross holds us fast by its attractive power. Our desire is that every man may both hold the Truth, and be held by it; especially the truth of Christ crucified.” – Charles Spurgeon
“Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace” – Jerry Bridges
