Our New Church
 

It was truly by the leading of the Holy Spirit that Grace Baptist Church started nine (9) years ago in the month of July, 1992 at 41 Larkin Road in Burlington, New Jersey.  The chartered members are Pastor Joyner, Sister Pamula Joyner, Teresa Joyner, Christie Joyner, Toni Joyner, Joel Covington, Clyde Leverett, Vanessa Bryant, and Dolores Edgehill.

It was in the month  of July, 1992, that Grace Baptist moved to JFK High School in Willingboro, NJ until September, 1996.  Grace Baptist moved to our present location at 1303 Route 130 North, Burlington in October 1996.  We were blessed to pay off our mortgage in 1999.

Presently, Grace Baptist has purchased 5+ acre track of land located in Westampton, NJ where our new church, day care, and educational building will be located.  We are scheduled to move into our new building by the end of Oct or Nov 2005.

We will be announcing our dedication service at a later date.  To God be the Glory for the great things He has done!!!

During Grace's ministry, the Lord sought to bless us with Rev. George Bailey, who was Grace's first son, who was licensed and ordained.  Minister  Leesa Jones became the first daughter of Grace and was also licensed and ordained.  Grace was blessed with Rev. Dave Bailey, formerly of God's House, (who has gone home to be with the Lord), Minister Michael Davis , Elder Brenda Bligen, Minister Michele Brown.  Minister Wilbur Phillips is now pastoring his own church, First Baptist of Delair, and Minister Peter Jackson (who has moved on in the Lord),

Grace presently has ninety-four (94) members.

Grace has also been blessed with our ministry at the Alliance Nursing Home in Mt. Holly, every third Sunday of the month.  Our Bread of Life Ministry has truly been blessed by the Lord as well with souls being saved and food given to those in need; every 1st and 3rd and 5th Monday of the month.  We presently have four churches in India and an Orphanage of 14 children which are supported faithfully by members and friends of Grace. 

We have also been blessed to have had 27 churches in India.  In February, 1999 Pastor was blessed to ordain 12 of the 27 ministers of these churches.

It is hour hope and prayer that Grace Baptist Church will continue to be a light in the community and a hospital for the soul.  It is our prayer that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, through the blessings of the Holy Spirit will be pleased.
