Congregation

Grace Baptist Church is a congregational ruled church. This means that the authority to decide all matters of church life resides with our members.  We believe that God is pleased to act through the wise, biblically informed, and Spirit-led decisions of His people (eg. Matt 18:17-20; Acts 6:3).  

At the same time, God is gracious to provide His church with servant leaders.  Thus, Grace Baptist Church is blessed with Elders (who give spiritual leadership to the church) and Deacons (lead servants who care for the practical and physical needs of the church).
