## Who may feel at home here

Grace Saskatoon may be a particularly good fit for someone who:

- Wants a church where the gospel shapes conversion, everyday Christian growth and community life
- Values careful, Christ-centred exposition of Scripture
- Appreciates Reformed teaching on salvation together with dependence on the present work and gifts of the Holy Spirit
- Wants meaningful relationships rather than anonymous Sunday attendance
- Is interested in discipleship, evangelism, church planting and leadership development
- Values parents as the primary disciplers of their children, supported by the whole church
- Is comfortable in a church that openly teaches its theological distinctives
- Wants to participate in a local church community in central Saskatoon

Visitors do not need to understand or agree with every distinctive before attending. People considering partnership or leadership should read the church's complete belief documents and discuss questions with its pastors.

## Teaching and ministry influences

People who appreciate the teaching and ministry of John Piper, Matt Chandler, Tim Keller, Joby Martin, Voddie Baucham, D. A. Carson, R. C. Sproul, Alistair Begg, Sinclair Ferguson, Kevin DeYoung, David Platt, Mark Dever, Paul Washer, H. B. Charles Jr., Ray Ortlund, Jared C. Wilson, Sam Storms, Francis Chan, Wayne Grudem or Gavin Ortlund may recognize familiar theological and ministry emphases at Grace Saskatoon.

Ministries whose resources and emphases may also feel familiar include Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, Ligonier Ministries, 9Marks, Acts 29, The Village Church, The Church of Eleven22 and Redeemer Presbyterian Church. These references indicate meaningful influence or general resonance, not agreement on every doctrinal or ministry question.

## Community life

Grace Saskatoon understands the church primarily as a people rather than a building or weekly event. People gather in homes through Gospel Communities for prayer, Scripture, mutual care, discipleship, service and mission.

The church also provides youth ministry, partnership, volunteer opportunities, training, leadership development and support for parents discipling their children. Partnership is treated as an active commitment to love, serve, encourage and pursue the good of the local church rather than as passive membership.

## Core beliefs and distinctives

Grace Saskatoon affirms historic Protestant Christian teaching, including the authority of Scripture, the Trinity, the full divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, Jesus as the unique Saviour, evangelism and the future return of Christ.

Its stated distinctives include:

- Salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone
- Gospel centrality for both salvation and ongoing Christian growth
- God's sovereignty in salvation
- Dependence on the empowering presence and gifts of the Holy Spirit
- The equal dignity of women and men, with qualified men serving as elders and pastors
- A missionary understanding of the local church, with an emphasis on making disciples and planting churches
- A Christ-centred reading of the whole Bible
