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!
Our NEXT Pastors' Reception will be on November 13 at 12:15pm. This is a great opportunity to get to know our pastors better and to hear more about Grace Baptist. A light lunch will be served. To RSVP, please email us below.
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 begin a new unit entitled Warnings to the People and a new Big Picture Question, What is repentance? Repentance is turning away from sin and turning to Jesus. Through a study of 2 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 24, the lesson this Sunday will focus on Joash’s desire to obey God. Joash wanted to obey God and he honored God at first, but in time, his actions showed that there was still sin in his heart. Jesus wants us to change our hearts. When we trust in Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, he gives us new hearts that want to live for his glory. Please pray for our kids to understand what repentance is and to desire to turn from sin and back to Jesus.
Opportunities to Disciple Our Kids
Opportunities are available on Sunday mornings and mid-week. If you’re interested in partnering with us, email us below for more details.
Grace Kids Check-In Volunteer Needed
