Grace Chapel Information

Grace Chapel is an interdenominational fellowship that is associated with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. We are organized governmentally by the Bylaws of the International Foursquare Church and are part of the Northwest Dstrict. There is an elected Church Council that serves as a ways-and-means work group to the Senior Pastor. The Church Council members serve terms of 2 years and are eligible for election to an additional 2-year term. When dealing with incoming and outgoing monies, we have different leaders who oversee every step of the process. On Sundays, money is counted by a team of faithful staff and/or members. In addition, we have different people that fill the following roles: counting money, data entry of offerings, depositing money, verifying deposit receipts, signing checks and reconciling account statements. This allows us to be completely above reproach and leaves no room for potential accusation. Financial reports are generated monthly by an off-site, independent accounting firm. In addition, we have a licensed CPA who does not attend Grace Chapel oversee our financial bookeeping and accounting operations. This gives us an added step of security and confidence in how Grace Chapel's money is being handled. Grace Chapel is organized into the following ministry teams in order to facilitate the efficient flow of ministry: Administration, Children, Extension, Pastoral, Small Groups, Students, Technology, and Worship ministries. These ministry departments are led by ministry coordinators (both men and women). The team leaders and ministry coordinators of our church are led and guided by our Senior pastor. His primary functions include:Casting vision and clarifying valuesCongregational teaching and preachingPrayerPersonal discipleship of key leadersChair Church CouncilStewardship developmentLeadership training & developmentPersonal care of congregationStaff coordinationCommunity and denominational relations
