Mission Values Priorities

We Believe

God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one,
all-knowing yet all-forgiving.

Story by Debra Anderson

The Damascus Grace Fellowship (DGF) church recently hosted its first-ever “Touch A Truck” event—a vibrant, family-focused outreach that brought ministry into motion and the community into fellowship. Designed to strengthen ties beyond the church walls, the event reflected the heart of Christ through joyful service, creative planning and open-armed hospitality.

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a flyer in the mail from one of our own churches the other day. This church, located about eight miles from my home, invited all in the neighboring community to join its “Forecasting Hope” prophecy seminar, providing all the necessary information for me to attend. So, attend I did.

On my way to the church, I received a call from G. Alexander Bryant, president of the North American Division, in which I shared with him that I was headed to a local church that was engaging in Pentecost 2025 to carry out the mission of evangelism. We rejoiced in the moment!
