We seek to accomplish this through prayer, as well as short-term and local missions. The practice of prayer undergirds all we do at Grace Baptist Church —engaging with and relying on God as we make and multiply Christ-followers who magnify the glory of God.

If you’re interested in serving in this worthwhile ministry, call the church office at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
Grace Kids
God sent Paul on three missionary journeys. During the years Paul traveled to different cities, he shared the gospel and started many churches. Both Jews and Gentiles heard and believed the good news about Jesus. This Sunday, we’ll learn that Paul returned to Jerusalem where he was arrested.
Paul followed God’s plan and returned to Jerusalem even though he faced danger in the city. Paul believed that God, who was faithful to raise Jesus from the dead, would help him in his troubles. We can follow God’s plan to tell others about Jesus and trust God to take care of us.
Please pray for our kids to trust God and follow him. Pray that they can have the same confidence Paul had, trusting in the same God who raised Jesus from the dead.
SUMMER ADVENTURE 2024
Thank you to the more than 350 volunteers who served at Summer Adventure this past week and to those who contributed by donating snacks. We thank the Lord for all he did in the lives of over 1100 kids to help them know that Jesus is Lord!
AWANA 2024-25
Registration is NOW OPEN for both volunteers and kids!
The Awana curriculum helps kids ages 3 through 12th grade grow with God from small to tall. We use it as a tool to disciple children with the hope that they would belong to, believe in, and become lifelong followers of Jesus. Each week children and youth have fun playing age-appropriate games, learning God’s word through large-group Bible teaching, and memorizing Bible verses in a small-group setting.
