The Ministry of
Grace and Truth International
Ministry represents the practice of serving by following God’s call. Ministry represents active service to meet spiritual, emotional, and physical needs under Christ’s name, while the term “church” usually describes structured house of worship institutions and assemblies of believers. Ministry activities include preaching and pastoral care, alongside mission work and community engagement initiative.
Every believer of Grace and Truth International (GTI) has a calling to serve God in some way beyond clergy responsibilities. 1 Peter 4:10 (NKJV) states, “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
The Four Basic
Functional Ministries of GTI
Worship
-
We engage in worship by attributing the highest worth, honor, and reverence to God. This act reflects our response to God's holiness, grace, and creation, manifested through a life of obedience and communal gatherings.
-
We express our praise as an outward demonstration of honor, love, and towards God. It serves as our public affirmation of His nature and His works. While internal worship is a matter of the heart, praise is our visible and vocal reaction.
-
We practice ordinances—symbolic acts of obedience commanded by Jesus rather than rituals that automatically impart grace. Our focus is on two primary practices:
-
Believer’s Baptism: Typically churches reject infant baptism, teaching that an individual must be old enough to make a conscious, personal decision to follow Jesus. Instead of baptizing babies, GTI hold child or baby dedication ceremonies. This dedicates the child to God and commits the parents to raise them in the faith.
-
Full Immersion—GTI administer baptism by completely submerging the person in water, symbolizing the believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:4).
-
Baptism is viewed not as a ritual that saves, but as an important step of obedience and a powerful testimony to the church and the world of a person’s new life in Christ.
-
-
Communion, The Lord's Suppers, a central Christian rite commemorating the Last Supper with bread and wine.
-
Communion, or the Lord’s Supper—GTI observes by-monthly during Sunday service. This ordinance serves as a reminder of Jesus’ sacrificial death, as believers eat bread and drink juice (symbolic of wine) in remembrance of His body and blood, based on Jesus’ words in Luke 22:19–20. Communion is open to all who have placed their faith in Christ and provide brief guidance or reflection time to help people prepare their hearts.

Together, baptism and communion are cherished practices that help ground the life of the church in the gospel story and provide opportunities for reflection, unity, and spiritual renewal.
