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 DISABILITY MINISTRY
Grace Disability finds its roots in a biblical view of humanity which says that every individual has inherent value, as every person is an image bearer of God (Genesis 1:26-31, Psalm 8:4-5). The individuals and families who experience disability are indispensable to the purpose and goal of the church, and our aim is to support them as they live out their unique calling. We have launched a Mothers Experiencing Disability group as part of this ministry. For more information, email us at care@gracebaptist.org

Grace Kids
In the book of Genesis, we learned how God made people; Adam and Eve. Sadly, Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God and rejecting his command. But God promised to send a Rescuer into the world. As time passed and more people were born, God worked out his plan to send a Rescuer into the world. He made promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and said that the Rescuer would come through their family. Even though God’s people continued to sin, God always kept his promise. Finally, the time had come for God’s Son, Jesus to be born.
The birth of Jesus was good news! Jesus was not an ordinary baby. He is God’s Son, sent to earth from heaven. Jesus, the promised Savior, came into the world to show us what God is like and to deliver us from sin and death.
Please pray for the boys and girls who will gather to be taught this spectacular passage of Scripture. Pray for them to find their place with God’s redemption story, placing true faith in the Savior born to bring us eternal life.
