Responsibilities:

Preaching & Teaching

• Preach and teach regularly, along with other pastors on the HGC staff.

Two characteristics identify our preaching method. First, our preaching is expository in nature. While each pastor varies in the style of his preaching all the pastors need to preach in an expository manner, seeking to expound, explain, and apply God’s Word. Second, our preaching is doctrinally sound and from a Free-Grace perspective. While we all have various opinions regarding specific interpretation of Biblical passages, all pastors need to agree with our doctrinal statement and approach their teaching from a Free-Grace perspective. A Free-Grace perspective understands good works not as a condition to merit (as with Catholics), maintain (as with Arminians), or to prove (as with some Calvinists) salvation, but rather are part of discipleship and the basis for receiving or losing eternal rewards. Free-Grace distinguishes between salvation and discipleship

• the call to believe in Christ as Savior and to receive the gift of eternal life, and the call to follow Christ and become an obedient disciple, respectively.
