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
In this week’s Bible story, another prophet named Zephaniah was sent from God to tell the people to repent. The book of Zephaniah serves as a stern rebuke of God’s people and a warning regarding a failure to return to him faithfully. It also serves as a reminder of God’s expectation of holiness and a description of what that looks like when faithfully lived out among God’s people. Pray for our kids to repent and live in such a way that others know they belong to God.
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.
Volunteer in Grace Kids
We are specifically looking for individuals to help welcome and check-in families on Sunday morning before services. Additionally, we are seeking someone to host Base Camp (our large group gathering for 1-4 grade).
