Our Church History

Former Building, Grace Bible Baptist ChurchPastor Bill VansantGrace Bible Baptist Church began on Wednesday evening, November 20, 1969, with seven people under the leadership of Pastor W.C. (Bill) Vansant. The first official service was held the following Sunday, November 24, 1969, at which 12 were present. The church was officially organized as of March 8, 1970, with 27 charter members. Later that year, the church purchased 10 acres of property on Lewis Road. After several relocations due to growth, the church moved to its present location when the first building was completed in 1974.

Since that time, an educational building has been constructed, and in September of 2001, the church dedicated a new 11,000-square-foot sanctuary and office building. The church is now home to about 300 active members.
