• UNIFORMITARIANISM AND A BURNING CANDLE

  The evidence for evolution is always dependent on evolutionary assumptions. Remove the assumptions, and the “evidence” vanishes.

  The following example is excerpted from The World That Perished by John Whitcomb:

  “Many scientists claim to have nearly infallible methods for determining the age of the earth and its various formations. But all of these methods are built upon two basic and unprovable assumptions: (1) the assumption of starting point or original condition and (2) the assumption of a uniform rate of change from that starting point to the present. Consider a burning candle in an abandoned house. It is now burning at the rate of one inch an hour. Question: How long has it been burning and, thus, how long ago was the house abandoned? Answer: No one can know until it can be shown how high the candle was when it was last lit and how fast it was burning originally! Question: How old is the earth? Answer: No one can know unless it can be shown what it was like when it began and how rapidly it has changed since then!”

We are delighted to have visitors in any of our services. We want you to feel like an honored guest. Click the picture below to see a few common questions and answers about visiting Grace Baptist Church that will help you enjoy your first visit.

Will the roof fall in?

Absolutely not. In fact, several visitors said this was going to happen when they came, but we are happy to report that the roof is still standing strong! If you are still concerned about this happening, just call ahead to warn us so we can clear out the building before you enter!

What should I wear?

This is probably the most common question. We want you to feel welcome. A specific attire is not required, and our members wear a variety of styles of clothing. We think it makes sense to wear nice, clean, modest clothing to church. As long as you do that you will not feel out of place.

Are there classes for different age groups?

Yes. We have Sunday school classes, a junior church time (ages 3 – 5), and Wednesday evening classes for each age group. Our adults and older children have a special time with the Pastor in the main auditorium. A nursery is provided for children up to 2 years of age for every service.

What are your services like?

Our services are what is commonly called “traditional.” The worship music primarily is great hymns of the faith as well as some choruses. We do have special music from members of the congregation on a weekly basis. The focus of all of our meetings is the Word of God. Generally, we will have several hymns, prayer, an offering, and then a message from the Bible. Our services are usually between 1 hour and 1 hour and fifteen minutes in length.

Do visitors have to stand up and say anything?

No, you sure don’t. We will give you a visitor’s card and ask you to drop it in the offering plate so we can have a record of your visit. You can rest assured that this information will only be used for our records and will not be passed on to any other people. Pastor will acknowledge your attendance in order to allow our people the opportunity to give you a warm welcome.

Do you collect an offering?

Yes, we do. But, don’t worry about giving money. Our members support our church in every regard. We’re happy to have you as a guest and do not expect you to give.
