Grace Baptist Church
Grace Baptist Church
AI Summary
Grace Baptist Church welcomes both in-person attendance and livestream viewing on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch; Sundays begin with Adult Bible Study at 10:00 AM (using the Regular Baptist Press quarterly) and a roughly one-hour Morning Worship at 11:00 AM, with evening studies (including I Corinthians led by Pastor Karnes) and a fifth‑Sunday Singspiration for congregational singing. Services feature beautiful, timeless music, parking is typically plentiful, and weekly offerings are received but never expected (online giving is available via PayPal). The church clearly presents a step‑by‑step "God's Plan of Salvation" with a contact form for new believers, and it highlights a strong Missions Emphasis 2025—supporting domestic and international missionaries through faith‑promise giving and multimedia mission resources. Holding to a conservative doctrinal stance, GBC affirms the verbal, plenary inspiration and inerrancy of the 66‑book Bible, practices believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper as ordinances, teaches eternal security, and follows dispensational, premillennial, pre‑tribulation views; its statement has been reviewed by The National Center for Life and Liberty. Long active in the community since 1950—with a history that includes a bus ministry, a K4–8 school, and AWANA—the church is led by Rev. Donald E. Karnes, a lifelong member with degrees from Bob Jones University who also serves as a police chaplain and auxiliary officer.
