Articles of Faith



The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and is the basis for any statement of faith. The church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of "The Baptist Faith and Message" as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963. We band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind. The ordinances of the Church are Baptism and The Lord's Supper.

Jesus is NOT looking for fans…He’s looking for followers.
Followers who understand that…

There is no forgiveness without repentance.
There is no salvation without surrender.
There is no life without death.
There is no believing without following.

Twenty times in the New Testament, Jesus Christ issued a compelling and challenging invitation: “Follow Me.” Jesus is not interested in mere fans. He doesn't want enthusiastic admirers. He wants completely committed followers.
What Grace Baptist Church needs is not more members, no, we need the members who are there to be forever faithful followers. Grace is a place where followers are encouraged to become all Jesus wants them to be without fear of ridicule if you don't quiet measure up. Grace is a place where you can come in as you are and leave changed because of the love and forgiveness of Jesus.

Someone said the greatest fear they had is[I'm afraid I won't live life to the fullest}.My friends if you don't know Jesus as your savior you are truly in danger of not { living life to the fullest}. Jesus said in John 10: 10 I came to give life and give life to the fullest."My translation". May we examine our lives and decide am I living or just existing. I pray the family of God will decide we want to be a true followers and not just a Sunday morning Christian.

    "There is no forgiveness without repentance." Far too many people don't know this - thanks!

    With love in Christ,

    "If He laid down His life for us, is it not the least we can do to lay down ours for Him? If He bore the cross and died on it for me, ought I not to be willing to take it up for Him?" ( D.L.Moody)

    Amen Brother
    I Love God by obeying God.
    John10:10 I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
    The abundant life is the obedient life.
    Isaiah 48:18 If only you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your well-being would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea
