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 Kids
We have been learning about Jesus’ last week on earth before he was crucified. We learned that he is our perfect Prophet who taught truth and gave warnings to the people. We learned that Jesus has the words of life and that he gave his life to save us. Over the next few weeks, we will be learning that the time for Jesus’ rejection was at hand. But even as his death approached, Jesus continued to act as a perfect Priest, loving his followers and praying to the Father on their behalf. This Sunday, we’ll read how Mary’s act of worship was also a way to prepare Jesus for burial.
Please pray for our kids to learn from this account why Jesus is our perfect Priest and worthy of all worship.
