Outreach Ministry: Our ministry exists to glorify Jesus Christ by providing an avenue where people will see the difference Jesus Christ will make. In conjunction with all other ministries of Grace Baptist Church, we will seek to guide believers to grow in their love of the Lord (Loving God), to grow in their love for others (Loving One Another), and to reach out to the world with the truth of the gospel (Reaching the World).

Prayer Ministry: Prayer is one of the greatest privileges we have! When we truly pray we are coming into the presence of our Father in heaven and must take that very seriously. Jesus, who was God, took time everyday to pray. Paul continually told the churches how he prayed for them. Our prayers are not about us, but about coming into the presence of the Living God.
Prayer is not an option for an individual or a church that desires to accomplish great things for God. We believe that meaningful and lasting results can always be traced back to prayer. James 5:16 says, “The effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Since our desire as a church is to accomplish great things for God that will last for eternity and bring Him glory, we are committed to, and will by His Power, become a “House of Prayer.”
