It is our pleasure to welcome you to Grace, and right away we would like you to know that from this moment on, we consider you part of our family. God has blessed Grace with quite a family history, as Grace has been serving the Lord in Escondido for over 100 years!
We recognize that the Lord has called us to serve a diverse population and student body. We expect to serve students that come from Grace Lutheran Church, other Christian churches, and non-Christian families. For students of our church families, we seek to supplement their Christian education they receive in the congregation. For students from other Christian churches, we seek to support their Christian education in their home congregation. We are not competitors, but rather complementary ministries! For students from non-Christian families, we seek to teach what the Christian faith is, so that students correctly understand who God is and what the Bible tells us about God.
We pray that you will find Grace a safe environment to further explore your own questions of faith in a place where people strive to treat one another in the manner the Lord Jesus Christ has modeled.
We are a Biblically-based congregation, and you will find that every ministry, every policy, every program has its mooring in the divine Word of our God. Through God’s Word, most certainly your children will grow by leaps and bounds this year in the knowledge of God, their loving Father, and in His Son, their personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that you, too, will grow along with them! To this end, we encourage you to seek out a church home.
As the leaders of this Christian congregation, we feel privileged to work and grow alongside a diverse group of people, and it is the cry of our heart that you, too, might find a loving, accepting, and truth-centered church home. We pray that for many of you, Grace might just become that home! For those of you who already have one, continue to foster that connection while at Grace Christian School!
We are here to serve our Lord Jesus, and we carry out that mission by serving you to the best of our abilities! If you ever need anything or have any questions or concerns about the teachings or ministries of Grace Lutheran Church and Christian School, feel free to contact us at 760-747-3029.
Once again, it is great to have you as a vital part of our family, and we look forward to getting to know you on a more personal level.
May the richest blessings of God be with you and your family through the truth, mercy, and grace of Jesus Christ!
