Looking to get plugged into the Grace Baptist Family? Join an ABF!
ABFs provide a place for the Grace family to meet and study God's word together in a small group setting and have time for fellowship, prayer, and connection on a deeper level. Many of our ABFs are multigenerational, and we encourage believers of all different ages and walks of life to gather together in community. ABFs meet on Sundays during both services. We would love for you to check one out. For a list of the ABFs currently meeting, click the link below.

GRACE CHAPLAIN MINISTRY
Seeking Volunteers
The Care Department is seeking godly men from the Grace Family who would like to volunteer for a 4-hour shift in the morning or afternoon during business hours. This valuable ministry provides support to our Pastors of the Week by answering calls or conducting informal meetings with those who call or walk-in in search of support, biblical guidance, and prayer as they share their current life struggles. Anyone interested can email counseling@gracebaptist.org or call the church office to speak to Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
HOME TEAM

Do you have special carpentry or repair skills and are willing to join our Home Team Ministry? Home Team provides free to low-cost maintenance repairs for our widows, senior members, and single moms. If interested in serving in this worthwhile ministry, call Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
Grace Kids
This week’s study of Luke 15 teaches us through three parables that God sent Jesus to seek and save all who are lost in sin. As Jesus taught the people, many who came to listen to him were those rejected by others. Jesus taught about God’s love for all people, even people that were not very well-liked. God’s love is shown to all people through Jesus’ saving grace. The kids will hear that Jesus came to rescue us from sin and bring us back to God. Like the father who invited the older brother to the party, we are all invited to trust in Jesus and be saved.
Please pray for our kids to continue to grow in their understanding of God’s incredible love for us and in God’s timing to respond to his gift of salvation through Jesus our Lord.
Opportunities to Disciple Our Kids
Opportunities are available on Sunday mornings and mid-week. If you’re interested in partnering with us, email us at kids@gracebaptist.org for more details.
AWANA 2023-24: Registration Now OPEN!
The Awana curriculum helps kids, ages 3 years through 12th Grade, grow with God from small to tall. We use it as a tool in discipling children to belong to, believe in, and become lifelong followers of Jesus. Each week children and youth have fun playing age-appropriate games, learning from God’s Word through large-group Bible teaching, and memorizing Bible verses in a small-group setting.
