We’re here for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like prayer or want to speak with a pastor.
Our Story
GraceLife Church was launched by four founding families on Palm Sunday 2006. From that Sunday at Webster University, to Polo Road Elementary, to a leased warehouse space, to now, at our current location at 501 Clemson Road, GraceLife began with a desire to make Jesus famous in Columbia, South Carolina. With a vision to Know God, Find Life, Make a Difference, and Reach Our World, GraceLife continues to grow and see God changing lives through worship services, small groups, and outreach. April 2024 marked 18 years of GraceLife Church; the best is yet to come.
OUR LEAD PASTOR

WHO WE ARE
These beliefs, values, and principles make up our DNA as GraceLife. They describe who we are as a church, communicate who God has called us to be, and direct where we're going.
Our Beliefs
+ God
There is one living and true God, infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love; one in His essence but eternally substantial in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
+ The Bible
The books which form the canon of the Old and New Testaments as originally given are plenarily inspired and free from all error in the whole and in the part. These books constitute the written word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
+ Creation
God sovereignly created the world out of nothing, so that His creation, while wholly dependent upon Him, neither comprises part of God, nor conditions His essential perfection
+ Creation of Man
God created man in His own image, in a state of original righteousness, from which he subsequently fell by a voluntary revolt, and as a consequence is guilty, inherently corrupt, and subject to divine wrath. The unregenerate are totally depraved and do not possess a will free from the dominion of the sin nature.
+ Jesus the Christ
Jesus Christ, the eternal Son, possesses all the divine excellencies, being co-substantial and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. In His incarnation, He united to His divine nature a true human nature and so continues to be both God and man, in two distinct natures and one Person, forever. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fulfilled the requirements of the law by His sinless life, suffered under Pontius Pilate, poured out His blood as a vicarious and propitiatory atonement for sin in satisfaction of divine justice, and on the third day was raised from the dead in the same body, now glorified. He ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father interceding in Glory for His redeemed.
+ The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son, through the ministry of regeneration and progressive sanctification applies salvation, guides and comforts the children of God, directs and empowers the church in fulfillment of the Great Commission, and convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement.
+ Salvation
Salvation consists of the remission of sins, the impartation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, the gift of eternal life and the concomitant blessings thereof, which are a free gift of God, and received by faith alone apart from human works of merit. Even the ability to believe is the gift of God. This blessing in no way relieves men of their responsibility to repent and believe.
+ Water Baptism
After repentance towards God and faith towards the Lord Jesus Christ, the believer is to publicly proclaim his identity with Christ by immersion in water baptism, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
+ Baptism & Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Lord Jesus Christ baptizes regenerated believers in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-8). The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an empowering work of the Spirit which is distinct from the regenerating work of the Spirit and is offered to every Christian. All gifts of the Spirit (namely Rom. 12 & 1 Cor. 12) are available today for believers and are subject to the order prescribed by Scripture.
+ Communion
Communion is to be taken frequently and offered to all believers except those who are living in unrepentant rebellion or immorality. The communion elements are symbols of Christ's body and blood and are useful to the exercise of faith in the person of Jesus Christ as the only means of absolving guilt, shame, and punishment of sin.
+ Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is a present reality and a future hope, forcibly advancing through the agency of the church.
+ Death
At death, the souls of the redeemed are made perfect in holiness and immediately enter into the presence of Christ, enjoying conscious fellowship with Him, there to await the resurrection of the body.
+ The Return
The Lord Jesus Christ will return bodily, visibly, and personally to conform believers to His own image. He will judge the quick and the dead and will effect a final separation of the redeemed and the lost, assigning unbelievers to eternal punishment and believers to eternal glory.
