A church built on the Word

More than thirty years of gospel preaching, discipleship, and worship in two languages in Battle Ground, Washington.

How We Began

From a handful of families to a thousand

Word of Grace grew out of the Slavic immigration wave of the early 1990s, when families fleeing persecution for their faith found a home in southwest Washington. What began as small gatherings in living rooms has become a congregation of more than 1,200.

Today we preach that same unchanging Word in both Russian and English — serving a new generation born here, while continuing to carry the gospel around the world.

What We Believe

Anchored in Scripture

1

We believe in the infallible Word of God, the Bible — all 66 books.

2

We believe in the Holy Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3

We believe man's purpose is to glorify God, enjoy His fellowship, and live according to His will.

4

We believe man was created sinless but, disobeying God, became enslaved to sin.

5

We believe salvation is wholly of God — by grace through faith in the redemption of Jesus Christ, not by works.

6

We believe all who trust in Christ are His spiritual Body, the Church, expressed in local congregations.

7

We believe in the Great Commission — to preach the gospel to all nations until His return.
