OUR PURPOSE
Where Grace Abounds (WGA) exists to guide and support men and women who seek to understand sexuality and relationship, and to inspire all people to know and personally appropriate God’s plan for their sexuality and relationships.
FOCUS
WGA was born out of the need to fill the vacuum created between blanket acceptance and approval of sexual behavior of any kind and total condemnation of the sexual sinner as worse than any other.
COMMITMENT
WGA is committed to reaching out in the love of Jesus Christ without condemnation, yet without compromising the Word of God.
APPROACH
WGA makes a distinction between sexual feelings and behavior. People do not choose their feelings (including sexual orientation), but they do choose what they do with those feelings (behavior).
ReSOULutions Series
An introductory program comprised of 4 topical modules (listed below) addressing the need for understanding, ongoing resolution and healing of certain issues around sexuality and relationships within the context of our relationship with God.
