Adult Bible Fellowships
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 will wrap up our three-year study of the Bible. Over the past weeks, we have studied the book of Revelation. The children were taught that Jesus alone is worthy of all worship and praise. Last week, we saw that Jesus will conquer evil once and for all because he is more powerful than anyone or anything. This week’s lesson will focus on when Jesus comes back to make all things new.
Jesus promised to come back to earth soon. When Jesus returns, God will undo every bad thing caused by sin – no more death, no more pain, no more tears. Jesus is making all things new.
Will you pray with us and ask the Lord to prepare the hearts of the children for this week’s lesson? Ask him to use the hopeful expectation of Christ’s return to change the children’s view of him, the world, and those around them for his glory and praise.
AWANA 2024-25
Registration is 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. Come join us from September 2024 – May 2025 on Wednesday nights!
We need 5 more AWANA Small Group Leaders!
Join our AWANA ministry team as a table leader or secretary and be a part of discipling the next generation.
