Mission Statement
To live Grace Outrageously in the nations as we serve in faith and love through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Grace Outrageous Ministry is determined to think outside the box! We are continually reading, studying, and observing the cultures around us and asking ourselves “how can we bring Jesus to this particular group of people?”
GO Gatherings are open to all people.
Jesus followers… OR NOT
those “living the dream” and those who feel like they are living in a nightmare
the young, the old, the radical, and the traditional.
We simply want to share the Outrageous Grace of Jesus with all people. There is no membership, no list of “you are in” and “you are not”. There is only our commonality found at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ.
GO IS NOT denominational, legalistic, or perfect. Our vision is to simply be a place that can be a safe harbor in the chaotic events of life, a place to grow in faith, a place to question, doubt and experience the scriptures. None of us are theological experts or have all the answers to life. We are people trying to figure life out and share the Grace Outrageous-ness of God with each other.
WE DO THIS through…

FIELD TRIPS like concerts and other faith gatherings.
The spread of the gospel did not occur by people sitting inside a building waiting for other people to show up. It spread by Jesus’ followers being filled with the power and passion of the Holy Spirit to take the message to where the people lived life. Today that means the campuses, the coffee shops, the workplace, the homeless shelter, the street corner, and the bar…to all the “nations” that are in our own communities, states, nations, and world.
Most importantly, we do not believe in walls and leaving anyone out.
JOIN THE GO GATHERERS IN ANY WAY THAT CONNECTS TO YOUR JOURNEY.
“God put the vision for GO in my heart two years ago. How I thought that was going to be played out and how it actually came to be are actually two different scenarios.”
Vision Team

GO is powered by a Vision Team – a collection of people who exemplify God’s creative diversity of His children’s personalities, talents and gifts, as well as represent the reality of various personalities, backgrounds, and life experiences. Just as the first disciples were real people seeking to live out their devotion to the Savior – all the while succeeding, making mistakes, and yet continually pursuing the goal Jesus set for them to “Go and make disciples of all nations” – these modern day disciples are devoted to continuing that Great Commission. GO’s Vision Team members are dedicated to creating opportunities for all people to engage, live out, and grow their faith.
