Our vision
Grace on Campus is USC students gathering around Jesus — a college ministry of Grace Community Church. We exist to make and mature disciples by sharing Christ and sharing life.
If you are looking for Christian community that is serious about the Bible and warm toward newcomers, you are in the right place. Read on to learn who we are.
Every Friday night we gather for singing, hearing God's Word taught, and fellowship. It is during these weekly large group meetings that GOC comes together corporately to worship our great God.
Foundation
Matt 28:19-20 · 2 Tim 2:2
We prioritize growing people into disciple-making disciples over simply running events or maintaining structures. Every ministry effort should equip and train believers to personally invest in others. To be a disciple is to be a disciple-maker.
Heb 10:24-25 · Prov 27:17 · Gal 6:2
Transformation happens best through sharing life — walking together in faith, stirring one another up to Christlike living, and inviting others into genuine, intentional relationships.
Col 1:28-29 · Phil 1:20-21 · John 15:5
Our aim is that Christ will be magnified above all things. Growth is measured by faithfulness to God's Word and by our desire to make Him known and glorified.
Gospel
What we hold about the gospel and the call to follow Christ.
When man was first created, man was in a perfect relationship with God. Man sinned and disobeyed God's law, distorting that relationship. Every person is guilty of sin. God's holy character declares that the punishment for sin is death — yet in mercy He provided a way of salvation.
Romans 3:22-23 · Romans 3:10-12 · Romans 1:18
God so loved the world that He sent His only Son. Jesus lived a righteous life and offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice for all who trust in Him. Through His death God's wrath is satisfied; three days later He rose, securing hope for all who believe.
John 3:16 · 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 · Romans 5:1
Saving faith is a gracious gift of God. The Holy Spirit transforms the heart and opens eyes to the gospel, even as God calls every person to repent, believe, and commit their life to Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:10-13 · John 14:6 · Ephesians 2:8-9
