Welcome to Grace Baptist Church
Our Purpose Statement
To glorify God, by making disciples, through the spreading of the gospel, baptizing, teaching, and the meeting of needs, while promoting worship, accountability, and joy.
Worship through Song
Worship through the Word
Philippians 2:1-11
Sermon notes are available in the atrium and church website www.egracecommunity.com
Weekly bulletins and newsletters are also available on the website
During the Worship Service and Sunday School we provide adult-supervised Nursery from birth to age 3. We have a comfortable Cry Room which can be accessed from the Atrium. During the worship service children between the ages of 4 to 3rd grade are welcome to attend Children’s Church. Children are dismissed after the singing time, before the sermon.
Prayer requests can be submitted using the Communication Cards. Just drop them in the offering boxes.

READ WITH ME! Adult volunteers needed to give INSPIRATION and ENCOURAGEMENT to children at Whitson Elementary School as you listen to them read. Can you commit to 1-1 ½ hours a week at a regularly scheduled time to listen to students read? You will be working with the same teacher and class every week. You will be able to connect to the same kids each week and impact their lives for good! Any age from 19-99! You will receive the help and training you need to feel prepared! Please call Whitson Elementary, 493-1560 and ask for Mary Kay McNallan
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

A reminder from our Librarian: Please check your shelves for books that need to be turned in – others may be waiting!
