Welcome to our service today! Grace is a very fitting name for our congregation because we love to experience God’s grace! We are a warm and friendly family who exist to exalt Jesus Christ, evangelize the lost, and edify believers. We have lots of interesting and enriching things to do and offer as a church. But our priorities are to worship the Lord Jesus Christ, to fellowship with other believers, to grow to be more like Jesus, to do ministry, and to share the Good News with those around us. I encourage you to become a part of our wonderful church. We need YOU to help us fulfill our responsibilities and you need US to help YOU become who God created YOU to be. I would consider it a privilege to be your pastor and I pray you will consider joining our wonderful church!

HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH
First you must present yourself for membership during a worship service. Our Pastor will be at the front during the invitation to help you with your decision then you will encouraged to attend a membership 101 class. Secondly you must express your desire for membership through one of the follow-ing ways: 1) Profession of faith: If you have never made a public decision acknowledg-ing that you have or are receiving Christ as your Savior, you will be given that opportunity. After you have made a public profession of faith, your baptism will be scheduled. 2) By statement of faith: If you have previously made a public decision acknowledging that you have received Christ as your Savior, we will be happy to receive you. It will however be necessary for you to be baptized at Grace if you have never been baptized by immersion or if you were baptized in a church which holds a different view of salvation, bap-tism or eternal security than Grace. 3) By letter: If you are currently a member of another Southern Baptist Church, we will contact that church to notify them of your decision to join Grace.
