Description:
Our mission is clear: We exist to glorify God by developing committed followers of Jesus Christ who attract others to Him. Everything we do at Grace is meant to accomplish this mission. Our ministry is Christ-centered and Bible based. If you come on Sunday morning bring a Bible or ask for one when you get here. We trust you will find our webstie to be a great resource for you - whether you are seeking a church family or already connected here.
Our Purpose Statement
We exist to glorify God by developing committed followers of Jesus Christ who attract others to Him.
Beliefs
Grace provides a number of resources for those interested in doctrine, organizational structure, philosophy of ministry and the purpose behind the drive. Below is our basic doctrinal statement.
In The Beginning (1955-1964)
Grace Baptist Church was officially organized on July 24, 1955, by a handful of people attending Bethany Baptist Church in nearby West Covina. Arnold Pearson was the church's first pastor. Since services initially were held in a home, it became apparent right away that church facilities would be needed. Though only 16 adults attended the first service, the future clearly looked bright and construction of the original sanctuary, now Building C, began the following year. The location? A 3 1/2-acre site on Glendora Avenue, where Grace is still located today.
Within five years of the church's founding, Grace was supporting six missionaries in five countries. The church's first expansion project, a 1,800-square-foot Christian Education Unit attached to the Sanctuary, was begun within a few years. In anticipation of continued growth, Grace strategically purchased land adjacent to the church property. Don Jensen was called to serve as Grace's second pastor after Arnold Pearson left for the mission field.
The Second Decade (1965-1974)
Over the next several years, other expansion projects were begun and completed. The Auditorium (Building A), with seating for approximately 800 worshippers, was completed as the church's second decade began, preceding construction of the 13,136-square-foot Grace Hall (Building E). Dr. H. Allan Smyth was called to serve as pastor as the 1960s came to a close, and the church's emphasis on evangelism continued to grow. A strong emphasis was also placed on Christian education.
The Third Decade (1975-1984)
Rev. Ronald Harper was called to pastor Grace Church as its third decade began. He served almost six years before Dr. Kimball Hodge became Grace's fifth pastor. During these years the church continued to attract new members and growth focused more on strengthening the base of ministries and missions than bricks and mortar.
In 1983 the church decided to begin a Spanish-language worship and education ministry on its campus. A year later, Grace began a new ministry aimed at attracting and developing children for Christ: AWANA.
The Fourth Decade (1985-1994)
The start of Grace's fourth decade was marked by continued emphasis on strengthening the church's ministry and facility foundations to support anticipated growth. Grace Sports Ministry began in 1986 with T-ball.
Throughout the years, as Grace grew in numbers, multiple worship services were used to accommodate the inevitable overcrowding that occurs between building expansions. During this decade, however, Grace gave the multiple service concept a new dimension with the addition of a worship service featuring contemporary music and a worship band. Thus, Grace's Celebration service was born, ushering in an era of multiple services with multiple styles of worship to reach multitudes for Christ.
In 1991 Rev. Gene Wood accepted a call to join Grace Church as senior pastor. The need for additional space to accommodate growth quickly became apparent. The Ministry Center, a 1
