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 unit entitled “The People Prepare.” God had made good on his promise to bring the people back into the Promised land, but they were still waiting on another promise: for God to send the ultimate Rescuer. God’s people began to prepare for the Messiah’s arrival, but even so, as always, they couldn’t escape the allure of sin.
This week we will learn about Esther, who risked her life to go before the king. Like all of Scripture, the book of Esther helps us learn to trust that God is always working for the good of his people. As we read Esther, we should be reminded that God is our Deliverer who sent Jesus to save us from sin and death.
Please pray for our kids to understand that they can trust God because he is always in control and that they can have hope in every situation because of 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 at kids@gracebaptist.org for more details.
Lost & Found
Please come to the Grace Kids Check-In room to see if any of your missing belongings are in the Lost & Found cupboards. All remaining items will be donated in February.
