Grace Alliance Vision

To see the Grace of God transform lives affected by mental health challenges.

Grace Alliance Mission

To equip the Body of Christ with evidence-based mental health resources and support to transform lives (science + Scripture).

 
 

“To love them well.”

Ministering to the broken-hearted (Is. 61:1-3; Matt. 25:35-40) and “making disciples” (Is. 61:4; Matt. 28:18-20).


Grace Alliance Values

Whole-church + Ecumenism: We value involvement and working with a multi-denominational, multi-ethnic, and multi-national community.

Simple + Evidence-based + Scripture (in Christ): We value our mental health resources being simple and user-friendly for anyone, anywhere, as well as high quality, integrating proven science with Biblical/Scriptural principles and practices (in Christ) for positive mental health outcomes (see below).

We value scientific experts and evidence-based studies (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, physiology, behavioral science, etc.) to design our curriculums. We integrate science-based concepts and tools within the Christian spiritual formation experience (Biblical framework for life transformation) that help reduce difficult mental health symptoms and renew life meaning/purpose, relationships, and faith.

Scriptural Integrity: We utilize resources and curriculums, biblical stories, and scriptural references to reveal God the Father in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit in the mental and emotional health journey. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are reinforced as the centerpiece of God’s love and grace, along with the continuing life transformation through the Holy Spirit (salvation and life in Christ). We value and have designed the curriculums to underpin the Biblical framework that is basic, foundational, and aligns with the core principles of the Christian Church (ecumenical).

Collaborative + Innovative: We value working relationships with other mental health professionals, organizations, churches, etc., to help eliminate the lack of mental health understanding and support in/through the Body of Christ/Church.


 
 

Mental Health Grace Alliance Purpose with Evidence-Based Results.

In 2011, Mental Health Grace Alliance (“The Grace Alliance”) was founded to create practical and grace-filled resources for those living with mental health challenges (individuals + marriages/families).

Grace Alliance curriculums utilize a whole-health (i.e., holistic) approach, integrating evidence-based science (neuroscience, psychology, biomedical, etc.) and Biblical scriptures/faith experience for mental health recovery (resilience).

The amazing impact of the Grace Alliance programs and training was published in four journals, with results showing:

  1. Participants saw a reduction in mental health symptoms.

  2. Participants were aided in overall mental health recovery.

  3. Participants experienced a renewal of their faith.

  4. Training increases confidence and skills to respond and minister to mental health challenges.
