Grace Baptist Church is a local, fundamental, Independent
Baptist Church. The church, like any good business or institution is
led by a leader of men. Dr. W. Collins Glenn, a man called of God to
preach and teach the Bible, was called by Grace Baptist Church in 1967
to assume that position of leadership.

Dr. W. Collins Glenn, Pastor

Under his ministry,
the church has been blessed well beyond beginning expectations. The
Lord has given this Pastor wisdom, maturity, insight, love and
compassion ... as well as a tireless zeal for soul-winning. He is an
inspiration to all who have come under his preaching, as well as those
knowing him personally. His staunch Biblical leadership coupled with a
congregation obedient to God's Word has been blessed of God with a
program of multiple ministries meeting the needs of all ages. Through
this ministry God has changed hearts, enriched lives, and bestowed
blessings that will last for eternity.

- Inspiration of the
Scriptures. We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired,
infallible, eternal and final word of God to man and is therefore
authoritative and sufficient in its message.
- Absolute Religious Freedom.
We believe that every man should be free to worship as he will, and not
forced to worship if he does not so desire.
- The Absolute Lordship of
Christ. We recognize civil authority and obey the laws of the land.
Scripture teaches this is right. But in the realm of religion we
recognize not man's authority over us, for Christ and Christ alone is
our Lord.
- The Bible to be the One
Rule of Faith and Practice. (1) We have no creed, save the Bible.
(2) As a result of our reading and study of this Word of God, we have
come to certain outstanding conclusions: (a) A regenerate church
membership; (b) Believer's baptism; (c) The two ordinances (Baptism
and the Lord's Supper) are not sacraments but symbols which we
participate in for the purpose of publicly identifying ourselves with
Christ and His church and to remind ourselves of our privileges as
children of God.
- The Individual Right to
Approach God for Himself. (1) "There is one Mediator between man
and God, the Man, Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5); (2) Every
individual must stand before God alone without human props.
- The Independence of the
Local Church. Every Baptist Church is independent and governs
itself under the guidance of God.
- The Equality of Believers.
Christ is the Head and Lord of His Church. All of His ministers are
servants and equal in rank.

Each of the four regular services has a distinct purpose in
the building of the Christian. You have an opportunity to learn from
God's Word, to worship Him, to see souls saved and to grow in your
Christian walk. There are study and fellowship opportunities throughout
the week for all ages designed to meet all needs. From the Gospel Force for children ages 3 through 6th
grade to the 4-8 year olds Sunday Evening class toYouth
Chapel for teenages to Higher Ground
Ministry on the campus of Ball State University and Taylor
University to Caleb's Kin Ministry for
Seniors, there is something for every member of the family. Grace
Baptist offers a free nursery for babies and toddlers during all four
services. Our bus ministry reaches out to the
Delaware County community through dedicated workers who volunteer their
time every Sunday morning to bring people of all ages to Grace Baptist
Church in order to hear God's Word.
