Join Us for Worship on the Lord's Day
At Grace Covenant Baptist Church, we invite you to join us this Lord's Day, where we gather to honor God through His Word, prayer, and the ordinances He has instituted for His church.
2 Timothy 4:2
"preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching."
What To Expect
Expositional
We hold fast to the conviction that the Word of God is the sole rule of faith and life. Our church is devoted to the meticulous and methodical exposition of the scriptures, thereby permitting the Divine Word to instruct and edify the soul and provide a guide for life.
Confessional
"This little volume is not issued as an authoritative rule, or code of faith, whereby you are to be fettered, but as an assistance to you in controversy, a confirmation in faith, and a means of edification in righteousness. Here the younger members of our church will have a body of divinity in small compass, and by means of Scriptural proofs, will be ready to give an account for the hope that is in them. Be not ashamed of your faith; remember it is the ancient gospel of martyrs, confessors, reformers and saints. Above all, it is ‘the truth of God’, against which the gates of Hell cannot prevail.”
- Charles Spurgeon
Missional
In accordance with the great commission, we are fervent in the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our ministry extends from the individual to the collective, endeavoring to extend the reach of salvation's promise to all mankind.
Age Intergrated
Age-integrated worship unites all ages—children, youth, and adults—in a covenantal service under Christ’s sovereign lordship, reflecting the church as God’s covenant family. Rooted in Scripture’s call to train all generations (Deut. 6:6-7), it centers on psalmody, prayer, and expository preaching. Distinct from age-segregated models, it fosters edification and covenantal unity, aligning with Reformed Baptist theology.
Regulative Principle
The regulative principle restricts worship to elements expressly commanded or permitted by Scripture, under Christ’s sovereign authority, affirming the church as God’s covenant community. Grounded in the sufficiency of Scripture (1689 Confession, Chapter 1), it prescribes psalmody, hymns, prayer, and expository preaching, excluding unscriptural practices. Distinct from permissive approaches, it upholds doctrinal purity and covenantal integrity in alignment with Reformed Baptist theology.
Puritan Gold
“The Lord in his care and love towards his Church… we expect that in the latter days, antichrist being destroyed, the Jews called, and the adversaries of the kingdom of his dear Son broken, the churches of Christ being enlarged, and edified through a free and plentiful communication of light and grace, shall enjoy in this world a more quiet, peaceable and glorious condition than they have enjoyed.”
John Owens
"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason—I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other—my conscience is captive to the Word of God.”
Martin Luther
“The Scriptures should be read with the aim of finding Christ in them. Whoever turns aside from this object, even though he wears himself out all his life in learning, will never reach the knowledge of the truth.”
John Calvin
