"If grace ceases to surprise,
​ ​it ceases to be known
​for what it is."
– Derek Kidner

"One of the reasons I have such great hope for the Church is that Jesus established it and promised that it would prevail no matter the times or no matter the circumstances it faces, including COVID19!" - Pastor John Bayer

Welcome to Grace!

Picture
As a local church,  we want to give you the opportunity to know us better and stay in touch.  Our church offers opportunities to grow, use your spiritual gifts, and meet other Christians.  We are a family committed to knowing Jesus and making Him known.   

If you are not familiar with our church and your first contact with us is online; we would be pleased to hear from you! Please let us know what your needs and questions are and we will be more than happy to help.  Our contact page will help you.

In brief, you should know the following about us: our church started from a Bible study in 1975.  Grace is a part of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches. Our desire is to learn and teach the Bible and encourage others to follow Jesus. 

Our Sunday School classes begin at 10 AM.  We have classes for kids and adults and have a nursery for infants and toddlers.  Our Worship Services are 9 AM and 11 AM.  We are looking forward to meeting you.

Our Pastor, Rev. John Bayer Jr., and the rest of our congregation would be excited to meet you and your family at one of our programs or services.  Our facilities are handicapped accessible.

new series
​Back to the Basics 
​The Church has a way of over complicating what it means to be a follower of Jesus. There can be a lot of requirements and expectations that in the end do not result in a more robust and vibrant faith. Sometimes it is most helpful to simply get back to the basics. Focusing on spending time in prayer, reading the scriptures, confessing our sin, and exercising our faith in serving others will help us engage with the foundations of our faith. Back to the Basics is a 4-week Series that will invite us back into the things that really matter most.

God Came Near, MAX LUCADO
In the midst of the gloom of winter, the darkest and coldest of seasons, Christians still wait with great anticipation for the happiest season of all, Advent. Travel back in time and relive the coming of Christ to Earth, as He gives up His throne next to God the Father to enter this world as a baby born in a manger. Filmed at England's beautiful Blockley Church, join acclaimed author and pastor Max Lucado as he provides insights on the season of Advent.
