Grace Baptist Church was started in the providence of God in 1973. We purchased our current building in 1979. Grace Baptist’s heritage is ancient, going all the way back to the Apostolic Age. Baptists and Baptist people are not Reformed, as we had our beginnings in the Book of Acts. Baptist churches pre-date the Roman Catholic church. We claim, as part of our spiritual heritage, the grand old grou
ps such as the Donatists, the Albigensians, the Waldensians, the old Swiss and German Anabaptists, the Mennonites and Brethren, and similar groups. Grace Baptist Church once identified with Biblical Fundamentalism, but we are very uncertain of that identification today. Baptist Fundamentalism has apostatized from its grand heritage and is largely unrecognizable from what it was even 20 years ago. Many neo-Fundamentalists have abandoned the King James Bible and the traditional Biblical manuscripts, separation, and godly music and have
adopted Contemporary Christianity. That grand old movement is dead. Grace Baptist is a part of a “post-Fundamentalist” movement which we refer to as “Remnant Christianity”, signifying the numerical smallness and spiritual humility of such churches and Christians. Our only desire is to preach Christ and Him Crucified and to remain faithful to the Scriptures in this corrupt generation. We identify ourselves as a Bible Believing, Remnant Baptist Church, standing on the King James Bible as the preserved word of God in English. You will find at Grace Baptist a small but precious congregation of believers. We sing the old hymns of the faith and the psalms. We preach and teach from the King James Bible. We practice ecclesiastical and personal separation from sin and error. We support missions both here in the United States and worldwide. We emphasize the preaching of the Word of God and prayer above all. We invite you to visit us if you are in the central Delmarva. Our pastor since 1998 is Dr. John Cereghin, who holds degrees from Maryland Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary in Elkton, Maryland and Foundations Theological Seminary in Dunn, North Carolina.
