Connections
New to Grace? Want to Get Connected?
If you're new, stop by The Engage Center on The Patio after services to pick up your welcome gift! We'd love to meet you and help you explore what could be your next steps at Grace. And, if you're looking to join a small group (Adult Bible Fellowship or Grace Group), come get more details and let us help you get connected!
Adult Bible Fellowship
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
Last week we learned that Solomon asked God for wisdom. God not only gave him wisdom, but long life, riches, and victories over his enemies. This week, we’ll see how Solomon used wisdom to build the temple. The temple was a place where God met with his people. The people would go there to make sacrifices and to worship God. Today we trust in Jesus. He is with us wherever we go. We can look to him for forgiveness and help. Pray for our kids to learn more about God’s faithfulness to Solomon and to us today.
