Who is Grace Baptist Church?

Grace Baptist Church is a baptist church located on Portland Street in Rochester, NH. We are an Independent Baptist church looking to love God and love each other! No matter who you are or where you’ve come from, you are welcome here! We want to show you that God’s love is greater than your past, your present—it’s greater than anything you have ever experienced!

Grace Baptist Church is a group of people who come together desperate for God’s love and grace. We meet on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am for Sunday School, then at 11:00 am for our worship service, where you’ll be welcomed as we learn and worship together. Sunday evenings, at 6:00 pm, we will have our evening worship service and on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm, we meet for bible study and prayer.

We have something for everyone looking to love God and serve their neighbors. We hope you find the ministry of the Word to be an encouragement to you in your walk with the Lord. We warmly welcome you to our worship services whenever you are in the Rochester area. We have a place for you to belong as we learn to love and obey God’s word together. When you give us a call, you will be connected directly to one of our friendly staff who will answer any questions you might have, so you can expect immediate attention to your inquiry.

What can I expect when I attend a Baptist Church?

The First Baptist Church is traced back to the 1630s in the US in the then uncolonized state of Rhode Island. A former member of the church of England, Roger Willimas is credited with creating the first Baptist church when he split from the Massachusetts Bay Colony over beliefs of church functions. By the late 1700s, there were over 750 Baptist churches in the US. The quick growth of the Baptist Church movement was attributed to religious freedom and was credited as having a significant impact on the First Amendment of the US constitution.

The Baptist church is split into many sub-dominations, the largest of which was the Southern Baptists who have over 15 million members. We here at Grace Baptist Chruch are independent Baptists, which means we are not affiliated with any specific Baptist denomination but we do hold to the fundamental Baptist beliefs.

All Baptists do hold some common fundamental beliefs. Baptists believe the baptism and the Lord's Supper are the two acts of faith obedience given to Christ for believers. Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." 1 Corinthians 11:23-26: "For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me." After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." Baptism can only be given to a person who has professed Christ as their savior. Baptists also almost universally agree that the Bible is the only authority for Christian faith and practice. Timothy 3:16-17: "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

What is a bible-based church?

Bible-based churches often focus on scripture to deliver the message from God. Most bible-based churches believe that the bible is the literal word of god and will often preach from the bible line to line from the holy scripture. A bible-based church is a particular kind of church that places emphasis on the Bible. We here at Grace Baptist Church are a bible-based church. We believe that the Bible is the holy word of God. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”. (Colossians 3:16 ) “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

When do you celebrate worship?

We celebrate worship every Sunday at 11:00 am and 6:00 pm at our beautiful church in East Rochester, NH. We are located at 899 Portland St, also known as 25 Main St. We welcome all at our Baptist Chuch to our celebration. We also provide Sunday School at 9:45 am and monthly quilters meeting the first Saturday of every month at 10 am. Please join us today, we look forward to meeting you!
