Grace Baptist Church was founded in 1957 by Rev. J.C. Justice, who has since gone home to be with the Lord. The church has seen many souls saved and went through several upgrades and expansions since its founding. In 2005 the congregation called Wesley Agee as its pastor. In 2006 the church purchased a bus and started a bus route. The bus runs on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights and many young children and teens have come to the Lord through this ministry. Our youth and teen ministries have exploded. The Sunday School rooms were at full capacity to overflowing with children and teens. The church was in great need of additional space. In 2008 the Lord blessed the church by allowing us to purchase the property next door with much needed land (for parking) and a residence that was immediately transformed into a fellowship center and children's church. This purchase was an answer to 15 years of prayer by the congregation. The church's largest room (outside of the sanctuary) is now in the Fellowship Center along with a full kitchen and prophet's chamber. Children's Church meets in the large room on Sunday morning while the adults meet in the sanctuary. The Teens use the room for Sunday School and on Wednesday evenings. The building is also used for our birthday fellowships and special occasions. On most Sunday mornings the church Sanctuary is at 80% capacity or greater. We look forward to seeing what the Lord will do in the near future concerning our need of a larger sanctuary.
It is evident that the Lord has taken an interest in the ministry of Grace Baptist Church. Our people are loving and kind. We have a close fellowship with one another and we are a family of believers joined together to worship our Lord and reach others with the glad tidings of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Please make it a point to join us during one of our services as we gather around the Word of God. No doubt, the first 50 years of Grace Baptist Church were exceptional. However, we look forward to what the Lord will do in the future as we continue to serve Him.
