Welcome to Grace

We are glad you found us

Grace Bible Church is a non-denominational church founded on firmly conservative and traditional values. Our tradition is evangelical and encourages the local church body to fellowship as “a community of believers.” We believe in Jesus Christ, His bodily life and resurrection. As our personal Savior, He is the only atonement for our sins. We believe in the total depravity of man, and God’s sovereign control over salvation. We believe the local church exists for the worship of God and for the edification of believers who are then responsible to evangelize their world.

Our church services, including Sunday night church are expositional teaching and preaching sermons explaining the doctrines as found in our doctrinal statement. We are a revitalization plant of Grace Advance from Grace Community Church with Dr. John MacArthur, teaching what is commonly known as Calvinism from John Calvin or TULIP as opposed to Arminianism.
