We are so excited with what the Lord is doing at Grace Baptist Church, and we want you to be a part of it! The best way you can help is to get plugged in to our Sunday School Groups and find your community. There is a need for all of us to have other people that will care for us and pick us up when needs arise, and that is the purpose of the church. As we grow together, it is our mission to spread the Gospel and make disciples locally, countrywide, and worldwide. In essence we want you to come to Grace Baptist Church to help us as we strive to Love God, Serve Others, and Show Grace.  

We want the name of Jesus Christ magnified above all else. Through our loyalty to Jesus, we encourage all members and attenders to pursue him with our whole lives as a holy sacrifice. We worship Jesus together as a church through meeting corporately, in small groups, through discipleship, and with our giving. As servant leaders develop, we must also be prepared to fulfill the needs of those that are within the church as well. In all these ways, we show as individuals our devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Deuteronomy 6:5

One of the most important things that God has done at Grace Baptist Church is give the vision at 477 Old Cass White Road. It strategically places us within a couple miles from the exact center of Bartow County, and gives us an opportunity to serve other around us without traveling limitations. We strive to be present within our community, providing resources and needs, and making an impact as a representative of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 25:40

Our goal is to be a church that is equipped to "go and make disciples of all nations". The only way to properly do this is by sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We affirm and believe that Jesus Christ lived a perfect life and died as ransom, and resurrected on the third day to defeat death (2 For.5:21, Rom 5:8) all for the sins of mankind so there could be reconciliation between God and man. We profess faith in Jesus Christ as our mediator, and no man comes to the Father except through faith in Jesus Christ. 

At Grace, we want you to feel at home and find a place to connect. In fact, we call our church a family. You will be surrounded by caring people who love God and love others. Whether you are a large family or a family of one, we invite you to see what Grace is all about.

Grace Baptist Church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of “The Baptist Faith and Message” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention, June 14, 2000.

The Statement of Faith of Grace Baptist Church reflects our belief in Scripture and Scripture alone. We voluntarily band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind. These tenets are the basis for fulfilling the mission of the Church.

GOD THE FATHER – We believe, love, and worship the one and only unchanging, sovereign, and loving God, the Creator and Ruler of all things in heaven and earth. God is manifest in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

JESUS CHRIST THE SON – Jesus Christ, our Lord, is God in the flesh. He is the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, fully God, fully man, sinless. He died on the cross in our place for our sins, was buried, resurrected from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, as our Advocate, and will return to judge the living and the dead. He will return someday to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

HOLY SPIRIT – The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, exalting Christ and convicting us of our sin and need for Jesus Christ. He fully lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He comforts, teaches, and empowers us to live in righteousness. He equips every believer with spiritual gifts for service in the Body of Christ.

BIBLE – The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God to reveal God and His will to man. The Bible has God as its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error. The Bible is the sole authority for Christian Living, the supreme source of truth for what we believe and how we behave.

MANKIND – Man is made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. Male and female were created to worship God, to glorify Him, and to have dominion over the earth. Sin separates man from God, and man is eternally doomed unless he receives salvation in Jesus Christ. 

SIN – Adam, the first man, sinned by disobeying God. This act resulted in the fall of mankind, meaning that all people have sinned and lost their ability to live in perfect obedience to God. Sin separates people from God for eternity and causes many problems in life. 

SALVATION – Since all persons are separated from God by sin and are in need of forgiveness, God offers the free gift of salvation. We can never earn nor do we deserve salvation by good works. Each person must individually accept this gift, repent of sin, and place faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER – We believe our true salvation, provided by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ alone, is eternally secure. It is imperishable and no man or circumstance can snatch us out of the powerful hand of God because Jesus Christ has made an everlasting covenant with us. If one has been truly saved, he cannot “lose” his salvation.

PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER/EVANGELISM – Every believer is a minister and has direct access to God through Jesus Christ, the high priest. It is the responsibility and privilege of every Christian to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to seek to make disciples.

*Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 3:7; Ephesians 4:11-16; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 10:19-22

ETERNITY - God created people to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. 

THE CHURCH – Jesus Christ is the head of His Body, the Church. The Church is the body of Christ and the family of God. The purpose of the Church is to carry out His mission in the world and is best lived out in local, autonomous churches. It is made up of saved and baptized believers, who celebrate God’s presence (worship), demonstrate God’s love (ministry), communicate God’s Word (evangelism), incorporate God’s family (fellowship), and educate God’s people (discipleship).

FAMILY - The family, composed of persons related by blood, marriage or adoption, is ordained by God as the foundational institution of human society. Marriage is a lifetime covenant commitment of one man and one woman reflecting the union of Christ and His Church. The framework of marriage provides for the intimate expression of companionship and sexual relationship, including procreation, according to Biblical standards. Children, from the moment of conception, are to be valued as a gift of life from God Almighty. Parents are to love, teach, discipline and model Biblical truth before their children; children are to honor and obey their parents.

MARRIAGE AND HUMAN SEXUALITY –  We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning and that marriage is sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other and that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, polygamous relations, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one's sex, or disagreement with one's biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God. 

*Genesis 1:27-28; Matthew 19:4-6; I Corinthians 6:9-13; Ephesians 5:31-33; Romans 1:26-27; Hebrews 13:4

BELIEVER’S BAPTISM - Baptism by immersion follows Christ’s example, symbolizing death, burial and resurrection to new life in Christ. It serves as a testimony of faith after accepting Christ as personal Savior and Lord. 

LORD’S SUPPER/COMMUNION - The Lord’s Supper is an act of obedience and a testimony of faith. It symbolically memorializes the death of Jesus Christ. Self-examination and confession of sins should precede participation in the Lord’s Supper. At Meadowdale, we strive to have The Lord’s Supper no less than once per quarter.
