We recognize that certain actions could impede our ability to achieve God's purpose and vision for this church. We therefore resolve and state that Grace UMC shall not: pursue ministry which is contrary to its purpose; fail to seek to be good stewards of its financial and non-financial resources; do anything in opposition to the spirit and intent of the United Methodist Book of Discipline; stray from biblical principles and scriptures; stop discerning God's vision for Grace United Methodist Church.
