WEEKLY PROGRAM
Believers' Baptism
October 18, 2026
The next Baptism Service is planned for Sunday, October 18, 2026
At Grace Baptist Church of Lancaster, our baptism services are an exciting time of celebration! We believe it is important, and mutually edifying, to identify with our Savior in this symbolic act and to give testimony to His transformative work in our lives.
Anyone interested in being baptized is asked to attend a pre-requisite, informational class (Sunday, October 11, at 9:30am).

all other adult classes will be studying passages coinciding with our chronological read-through-the-Bible plan. This is a great place to meet in smaller groups and discuss what we are all reading together as a church. Various classes are available for adults (several open to anyone, one for young adults, and one for just women).

at Providence Place Senior Living & Abbeyville Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.
Everyone is invited to join a group from GBC to visit with the residents of Providence Place and Abbeyville Nursing & Rehab! This is an opportunity for our congregation to get to know some of the residents and to bless and encourage them. We also share a time of worship through Scripture, prayer, and congregational singing (led by our GBC Worship Team).
After church, meet in our choir room for lunch (pizza provided or bring your own lunch) and to go over that day’s program.
