All-in-all, I found Grace Baptist Church to be a group of people in whom God was doing a wonderful work. Their commitment to the truth of God, coupled with a desire to take that truth to their community and the world, set them apart from other churches I have encountered over the years. Whether you are a seasoned Christian, or just want a place to safely explore and learn about the person of Jesus, Grace Baptist Church might just be the place for you. Check it out!
The facilities were (to say the least) impressive. Parking was close and easy. The grounds were well kept. The buildings were impeccably clean and organized. The nursery and child-care facility were staffed with a helpful team of volunteers, all boasting stringent background checks and safety training. The nursery staff are trained to discreetly page us if there are any problems or questions and ensure we are the only ones permitted to pick up our baby.
Upon meeting the rest of the staff, I found them to be extremely competent--committed to serving Jesus Christ, the church, and the community.
One of the first things we noticed about Grace Baptist Church during our initial visit was the people. We didn’t encounter an air of indifference or superiority, but rather; immediate acceptance, interest, and care. About a third of the people were young families with small children and another third were retirees (admiring the young kids as if they were their own grandchildren). Like sitting in one’s own living room, we felt safe and comfortable.
My wife and I are in our late 20's and have an 11-month-old son. We’ve been in quite a few churches and tend to be somewhat careful in choosing a church for our family. We first visited Grace Baptist Church in 2007 and since then have made Grace Baptist Church our permanent church family.
A team of trained pastors take a passage from the Bible each week and typically spend 30-45 minutes dissecting its meaning and helping us apply it to our lives. Their preaching styles are friendly and helpful and every message has been refreshingly down-to-earth, authentic, direct, and profoundly simple.
The beautiful 1,100-seat auditorium gave us a feeling of hushed anticipation, but at the same time we didn’t feel lost in the crowd. The live music was an eclectic mix between the modern and ancient. The music was well orchestrated, expressive, and themed appropriately to the service. The instruments included everything from a guitar and drums to a 1927 4-manual, 32-rank Wurlitzer theater pipe organ.
