OUR MINISTRIES
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
1 Peter 4:10
Worship Service
Preaching & Teaching
There are opportunities for men to teach during Sunday Bible class. Our pastor preaches the majority of sermons. His style is expository preaching. Mid-week groups are held in members’ homes and provide both teaching and fellowship.
Music Ministry
Our worship springs from a vibrant joyfulness for the riches of God’s grace, yet is conducted in a way that brings honour to His most Holy Name. We pay careful attention to the biblical content and musical quality of the hymns we sing.
Children & Youth
Sunday School
Join us for Sunday school classes every Sunday morning. We read the Bible and learn bible stories, and practice memory work and craft activities that help stimulate learning of God's word. ​Children are welcome to stay with parents throughout the Sunday Service or attend Sunday School classes.
An unsupervised Nursery Room is available at all times.​​
Vacation Bible School (VBS)
​Vacation Bible School runs the last week of August and is a much anticipated highlight for many!
Friday Night Youth Outreach
On Friday nights, youth group ages 8 to 16 meets in the gym at St Paul's High School, where they have fun playing various games including basketball and learn about the gospel. You do not have to be a church member to join us in this fun time.
Men & Women's Ministry
Men's Ministry
GBC men have various activities to help men grow in Christ and enjoy fellowship with one another. A men's breakfast is held on the first Saturday of every second month where God's word is studied.
.
The men's canoe trip is held yearly in August. The trip affords men the opportunity to bond in a relaxed camping environment with campfire fellowship and devotion at breakfast.
Women's Ministry
Women grow in God’s grace & truth through the Special Ladies Fellowship held at church, where a short devotional is shared. Women are encouraged to invite a neighbor or a friend for this special time of bible study.
There is also an annual Women’s Retreat in May organized by the Sovereign Grace Fellowship of Canada.
Evangelism & Missions
Book Tent Ministry
You may have seen our book tent at local events like the Richmond Fair, Carp Fair and Stittsville’s “Arts in the Park”. We seek to educate and edify people through the sale of doctrinally sound books. However, what gives us most joy is to talk with visitors and present the gospel when opportunity arises.
Operation Go!
Grace Baptist Church is active in passing out gospel tracts in our community. We have delivered gospel tracts thousands of times to homes in Stittsville, Munster and Richmond. We also hand out gospel tracts at Canada Day events and encourage personal evangelism.
Missions
About 25% of our budget goes to supporting missionaries overseas and in Canada. Our Missions Committee dispenses this support, provides news about those we support and involves the congregation in projects that materially help the work of missions. We are a small church but have a long reach.
