Connections

New to Grace Baptist? Connect with us!
If you're new, stop by The Engage Center on The Patio after services to pick up your welcome gift. We'd love to meet you and help you explore what could be your next steps at Grace. And, if you're looking to join a small group (Adult Bible Fellowship or Grace Group), come get more details, or click below and let us help you get connected!


Adult Bible Fellowships

Looking to get plugged into the Grace Baptist Family? Join an ABF!
Adult Bible Fellowships, ABFs, provide a place for the Grace family to meet and study God's word together in a small group setting! You will have more 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 Groups

Have you ever thought about joining a Grace Group?
Grace Groups are strategic Gospel communities that facilitate loving relationships, encourage growth in Christlikeness, and intentionally reach their sphere of influence. These groups combine regular investment for discipleship with regular investment in the community for evangelism.

Grace Groups typically meet weeknights in homes across SCV where they're small enough for building relationships, applying Scripture together, and praying for one another! Learn how you can be involved as a leader, a host, or a faithful group member.

If you're interested in joining a Grace Group, click the link below, give us a little info, and we'll be in touch very soon. If you have any questions, email us at outreach@gracebaptist.org

Grace Kids

During this time of year, we like to pause and focus on Jesus coming to the earth as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus’ death and resurrection are recorded in the New Testament section of the Bible, but as we learn every week, we can see Jesus throughout the entire Bible.  

God created a good world without sin. But when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered the world. God promised to one day send a Savior who would defeat sin and death once and for all. From Abraham to Moses, and through all the kings and prophets, God continued to remind his people of his promise to save them from sin. At the right time, just as God had planned, Jesus was born. He lived a perfect life, always obeying God the Father. He performed miracles, showing everyone he really is God’s Son. And he taught the Scriptures and truth, to lead people to life in him. However, Jesus was ultimately rejected by the people he came to save. This Sunday, we’ll see how he died and rose again. 

God’s plan was always to send Jesus to die for the sins of the world. Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose on the third day. All who place their faith in him will receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life!

Pray for the eyes of the children to be opened to the rescue plan God has provided for each one of them. Pray that they would place their faith in him to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
