Briefly about us...
We exist as a fellowship to love God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and serve Him forever, as He is the only one worthy to worship with all of our life. Our earnest desire is to pursue the Lord and honor Him in everything we do, submitting our lives to His will revealed in the Scriptures, and walk in a life of holy, loving, joyful obedience to Christ Jesus our Lord. Not only do we desire to say "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." (Phillipians 1:21), but also to seek that others may know this same love and turn to the One who can save them from the awful, impending and just wrath of God upon them for their life of sinful, wicked disobedience. The fields are white to the harvest, and we rejoice that our Lord has given us a part in fulfilling His great commission by laboring in the fields of Corpus Christi.
Origin
Sovereign Grace Community Church was started through the Lord's providence in August of 2008 by Grace Community Church of San Antonio, Texas. The original fellowship formed with several families of similar doctrinal persuasions seeking a reformed church based upon the Word of God, with a passion for Christ, and teaching the full counsel of the Scriptures. The church has since grown as an evangelistic, reformed, baptistic, inner-city ministry with a desire for the true, historical Gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed throughout Corpus Christi, the Coastal Bend and the world.
Hopes
It is our hope and frequent prayer that the Lord would be pleased to do a work in Corpus Christi and save multitudes lost in false religion, empty lives and vain pursuits. Many in this city believe themselves to be saved because of a prayer they prayed, a baptism they received, a church they go to, or an experience they had; but the power and evidence of God is absent from their lives and they walk in open disobedience to Christ's commands. Our hope is for Jesus Christ to do a work in Corpus Christi, to save the many who are deceived and walking boldly down to Hell, that they may trust in Him alone and love Him from now to eternity!
We are committed to ministering among those in the darkest parts of this city, where it is not safe, where the Gospel is desperately needed, where the Love of Christ is not known. We welcome all of a like mind and faith to join us in this hope and come labor with us in Corpus Christi, Texas.
