Arriving 5-10 minutes early is a great way to get settled and meet a few people before the service begins. We have coffee, tea and hot chocolate.


Come as you are. There is not a dress code at Shepherd’s Grace Baptist Church for members or guests.

Pastor Eric preaches from the King James Version. We have free Bibles available for your use during services and to take home with you should you not have your own copy of the Bible.
