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
This Sunday, we continue in our study of 1 Kings by focusing on Chapters 10-12. Our kids will learn that King Solomon’s sin led to the division of the kingdom. God’s people needed a better king. Through King David’s family, God would send his own son, Jesus, to be a perfect King over God’s people forever. Jesus is greater than Solomon. Jesus brings his people together and leads them back to God. Please pray our kids will understand that God takes sin very seriously, but also gives mercy to those who repent.
