Grace Bible Church was established in 1995 and initially met at Rosemore Village. As the congregation grew, they moved to various locations, including the Wild Rose Elementary cafeteria and later the Wild Rose High School Auditorium. Eventually, in 2007, the church purchased the former Baptist Church building at 610 Carey Avenue, where they currently hold their services.
The church's journey began with just 20 attendees, but over the years, it has grown significantly, now having over 80 worshippers of all ages coming together by the grace of God. One of the church's notable contributions to the community is providing Vacation Bible School for the past 20 years. In 2022, 97 children participated in the program, learning about having a personal relationship with Jesus and His plan for each individual. Their dedication and efforts in the Wild Rose Days Parade earned them the Grand Champion Award.
Grace Bible Church is an independent church of Evangelical conviction, focusing on worshipping God reverently, teaching the scriptures as the ultimate authority for faith and Christian life, and spreading the message of Jesus Christ's transformative power. Their mission is to help fulfill Christ's command to make disciples worldwide, relying solely on Him as Lord and Savior (John 14:6). The church's central location and proximity to the Community Center have allowed them to be a positive force in the community and touch the lives of many.
