We Are the Church.

Who We Are

Love God, Love People, No Walls.

"Be doers of the Word, not just hearers, deceiving yourselves." — James 1:22

We're Heirs of Grace Church — a non-denominational church in Bastrop, Texas. We opened our doors in September 2015 with a simple conviction: following Jesus means showing up where people are, not waiting for them to find a building.

 

We gather Saturday nights to worship, study Scripture, and eat together. Then we go. Into nursing homes. Under bridges. Into jails. Across borders. We live it and love it — because faith without action isn't faith.

 

No dress code. No membership rolls. No fine print. Everyone is welcome here.

PURPOSE

Our purpose as a church is simple…to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to anyone and everyone we meet; here at home and across the nations. Dicipleing those who have ears to hear and raising up leaders to do the same.

VISION

We are a community of believers bound together by a faith relationship in Jesus Christ with a passion to reach everyone with the message of true freedom. Our vision is to be a church family that builds community with those seeking a greater purpose in life.

OUR CORE “FAMILY” VALUES

• A personal relationship with Jesus Christ

• Being real in Christ… having genuine and authentic love for others

• Providing an environment of freedom for all people

• Developing character as we study the Bible and grow spiritually in Christ

• Strengthening our family and our community

• Following Jesus’ example – surrendering all to Him

• Pursuing excellence in Christ – giving God the glory in everything

What We Believe

We believe in the Holy Trinity. We believe in one true God that eternally exists as three Persons –Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God. We believe that God is One in essence, three in Person each fully God and equally God each equal in nature, attributes and glory, and worthy of worship and obedience. We  believe that none is greater or less than the other but all equal and united. We believe that the Bible has revealed the name and person of God for His creation to call Him. We believe that the Triune God is perfect, eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. In God being very God, He is true, holy, just, good, faithful, loving, merciful and gracious. God is way beyond what we could ever comprehend.

​

We believe the Bible is inspired: God is its ultimate author.

​

We believe the Bible is inerrant: God used human authors to write exactly what He wanted without error.

​

We believe the Bible is infallible: It is incapable of error and will accomplish exactly what God wants

 

Every person who has experienced a life-transforming encounter with Jesus understands the importance and power of the Word of God in their lives. People look at me funny when I say..."I am not religious". That is, unless you truly define religion as God does, "taking care of widows and orphans". Religion as the world defines, has started wars, destroyed family and to this day divides "the church". If you are looking for a place where people don't stare at you because of how you are dressed, and where they greet you with a hug and a smile. If you are looking for a place to feel welcome no matter where you come from, what tone your skin is or how much money you make. Do you want to learn more about who God says He is, and, who God says you are? Well,  you might have found a new place to hang out. Everyone is welcome at Heirs of Grace!

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40
