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

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 Sermon Series:

Anchored
An anchor is an amazing invention, used by fishermen and sailors for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. An anchor is simple in its design, but so very powerful in its function. In Christ we find a firm and secure anchor for our souls. Through every trial and test that may come, we can rest assured that He will not bend or break. Anchor is a 4-week sermon series built to help connect or reconnect your church community back to the true Anchor of their souls. It is our sincere hope that our church community will have a more firm, sustainable, and fruitful experience of faith as a result of the Anchor series.

Traveling Light by MAX LUCADO

Weary travelers. You’ve seen them — everything they own
crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and
hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks.
 
Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop.
 
We’ve all seen people like that.
 
At times, we are people like that — if not with our physical luggage,
then at least with our spiritual load.
 
We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent.
No wonder we get so weary. We’re worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn’t it be nice to lose some of those bags?
 
That’s the invitation of Max Lucado. With the Twenty-third Psalm as
our guide, let’s release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear.
 
Using these verses as a guide, Max Lucado walks us through
a helpful inventory of our burdens. May God use this Psalm to
​remind you to release the burdens you were never meant to bear.
