Our structure doesn t restrict being life-giving to other people. We want to talk of God s love. We re looking for people who do not have a church home right now. Although Word of Grace is starting small, Brian Heins said he is looking forward to reaching out to the community and letting people know the church is there for them. And we have to get to know people.
Contemporary music is used during the service.
The church focuses on practical teaching of Biblical principles for daily living. We want to talk of God s love. The church tries to keep people and families as its focal point, not buildings and programs, he added. Faith Bond of Grace Fellowship in Tulsa said the church s School of the Local Church trains up to 30 to 40 students in each nine-month session to learn the practical application of ministry in local churches. There is no formal affiliation between Word of Grace in Durango and Grace Fellowship in Tulsa, but many of the school s graduates go on to start their own churches, Kimberly Heins said.
