Welcome to Grace Independent Baptist Church ! We want it to be easy for you to come to church. We want you to experience a great time in worship and meet friendly people who will welcome you into the family of Grace. We know that first-time visits to any church raise many questions and concerns. So please look at some Frequently Asked Questions that will hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect when you visit Grace during any one of our weekly services.
The Five Star Christian
A great church is made up of strong Christians and strong Christian families.
READ GOD'S WORD
The Bible says, "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Reading the Bible is vital to the Christian life. As we read the Bible, we should search the Scriptures, comparing Scripture with Scripture. Also, set a goal to memorize Scripture and meditate on the Word of God. In our personal lives and with our families each day, we need to be reading the Word of God.
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING
We believe that God hears and answers prayer. There is no doubt about it, the greatest untapped resource in the Christian life is the matter of prayer. Pray each day. Pray for loved ones. Pray for church leaders and their families. Pray for your church. Pray for our nation. Pray for the lost. Establish a prayer list. Pray.
Many Christians are not prayerful and intentional about the friendships in their lives. Some just "happen" into "fun" relationships without considering the great potential for good or bad in every relationship. This is a dangerous way to approach something so vital.
The book of Proverbs teaches that friends will come from 4 spiritual gene pools:
The Wise - Proverbs 1:5 , "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:"
The Simple - Proverbs 14:15 , "The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going."
