Happy Mother’s Day and welcome to our Order of Service page! Each week, a team of pastors and staff get together to collaborate on the liturgy, or order of service, for Sunday. Every element is prayerfully and carefully crafted so that the Gospel, God’s redemptive story to save a people for Himself in and through His Son Jesus Christ, would be clear and compelling. We hope you’ll enjoy following along with us as we present and rehearse the Gospel again this morning.

Why We’re Hosting ‘Exploring Christianity’
At Grace Baptist, we believe honest questions matter. Christianity is not a call to blind belief, but an invitation to know the God who has made Himself known through His Word and through His Son, Jesus Christ. That is why we’re hosting Exploring Christianity, a 5-week class for those who are curious about the Christian faith, new to it, or simply want to understand its foundations more clearly.
Together, we’ll consider questions like: Who is God? What is the purpose of humanity? What does salvation mean? What is the Bible? And what is the church? The class begins Sunday, April 12, in Room B205, from 10:45am–12pm. If you are interested, we encourage you to register on the site so that we can better prepare for and serve everyone planning to attend. And though the class spans five weeks, you are welcome to join us for any of the sessions; each week addresses a different topic, so even if you cannot make them all, we would still love to have you!
