Annual Meeting 2025 Recap

 

August 10, 2025

GracePoint Members and a few friends who attend GracePoint met over a meal after our worship gathering to get to know each other, then adjourn to the Worship Center for our Annual Meeting.

As you likely know, this year we had many changes proposed by our Lead Pastor to our Constitution and Bylaws. Many of these were inconsequential – updating of language, grammar corrections, elaborations for the sake of clarity, etc. But one isse in particular was of great in mportance to many in the GracePoint family… the modification of our Statement of Faith (which is part of our Constitution) to make it align with the newest EFCA (Evangelical Free Church of America) Statement of Faith, approved by vote at the 2019 EFCA National Conference.

VOTE OUTCOME: all PROPOSED AMENDMENTS PASSED AND ARE NOW IN EFFECT.

 

VOTING RESULTS: DETAILED VIEW

It is extremenly important to the GracePoint Leadership (Elders and Pastors) that the congregation knows everything regarding the details of important decisions like this. We commit to being as open and forthright about things as possible.
