The
goals of Grace Baptist Church center around the worship of the Lord of
Scripture, the building up of God's people in the truth of Scripture, and the
evangelism of those outside of Christ's saving influence. Our chief concern is
the proclamation of the central message of the Bible: the truth about the Person
and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. For this reason our public services emphasize
preaching and teaching as God's appointed means of bringing people into His
kingdom and furthering the work of His Church.
We seek to
honor the Lord by a whole-hearted obedience to His revealed will. Our God has
called us to holiness of heart and conduct, so our understanding of discipleship
involves the desire to follow Christ in every area of life. It is also our
desire to reach out to our community, ministering to the physical and spiritual
needs of our neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ. However, our burden is not
confined to our own locality but extends to all nations. For this reason we are
actively engaged in foreign missions, supporting qualified and tested men to
take to lost sinners the good news of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life
through repentance and faith in the risen Christ.
We understand
ourselves to be but a local, visible expression of the wider Body of Christ, the
church universal. Therefore we seek to unite with like-minded local churches in
cooperative gospel ventures. As a member of the national Association of Reformed
Baptist Churches of America, we are able to engage in larger mission endeavors
such as the training and sending of missionaries which we would not be able to
accomplish alone.
By God's grace
we would see the testimony of biblical Christianity lived out before a perishing
world. We invite you to join with us. |
