Last night was an absolute blast with our youth group at Centennial Park in Crossville! We spent the evening playing volleyball and pickleball, laughing together, enjoying great fellowship, and making memories. The little ones had just as much fun playing in the sand and on the playground!

Summer is always better when you’re surrounded by friends who encourage you, laugh with you, and point you to Christ. We are so thankful for the wonderful group of young people God has blessed us with, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer holds!

If you’ve been looking for a place to belong, we’d love for you to join us! Whether you’ve never visited before or it’s been a while, there’s always room for you.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures who make such a difference in the lives of those around them!

Today, we thank God for the men who lead their families, love sacrificially, pray faithfully, and serve as examples of Christ in their homes and communities. Your influence reaches farther than you may ever know, and we are grateful for the impact you make every day.

“The righteous man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” — Proverbs 20:7 (KJV)

From all of us at Grace Independent Baptist Church, we wish you a very Happy Father’s Day! May God richly bless you as you continue to lead and love those He has entrusted to your care. 💙

A huge thank you to Crystal Ashburn & Ashburn Beef Jerky for spoiling our Fathers with the best jerky around!🤩

What a wonderful evening spent with our church family at the Sparta Drive-In watching Toy Story 5! ❤️🍿

We are so thankful for opportunities like these to laugh together, make memories, and enjoy sweet fellowship outside the church walls. Nights like this remind us what a blessing it is to be part of such a loving church family.

Thank you to everyone who came and helped make the evening so special. We had a great time, and we’re already looking forward to the next adventure together! 🚗✨

Today we had the privilege of celebrating our awesome Pastor’s 40th birthday with a surprise cookout following a wonderful service! 🎉🎂

To say he was surprised would be an understatement—He was completely convinced we were celebrating someone else’s birthday! 🤣 We managed to keep the secret, and seeing his reaction made it all worth it!

We are so thankful for Bro. Jake and his family, their faithfulness, their love for the Lord, and their dedication to our church family. We are truly blessed to have a pastor who faithfully preaches the truth from God’s Word and genuinely cares for his people.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make today possible by planning, decorating, cooking, bringing food, and keeping the surprise under wraps! We appreciate each and every one of you.

Happy 40th Birthday, Bro. Jake! We love and appreciate you and pray God blesses you with many more wonderful years! 🎈🎁🎉

Happy 40th Birthday, Bro Jacob! 🎉🎂

Today we celebrate not only your birthday, but the incredible blessing you are to our church family. We are so thankful for a pastor who stands firmly on the truth of God’s Word and faithfully preaches straight from the Book. Your dedication to the Lord, your love for His people, and your unwavering commitment to the truth do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for caring for your church family the way you do, for leading by example, and for always pointing us to Christ. We are blessed beyond measure to call you our pastor.

We hope you have had an amazing 40th birthday and know just how loved and appreciated you are. May God continue to bless you, your family, and your ministry for many years to come!

Happy Birthday, Bro Jacob! We love and appreciate you! ❤️🎉

Our littles have spent the last several weeks learning about Creation and everything God created, including what He created on each day. Today, we dove deeper into the creation of man and woman, and these kiddos were on top of it!

We learned that man was created from the dust of the ground when God breathed life into his nostrils. To help bring the lesson to life, we made our own version using some “dust” of our own. The kids absolutely loved it!

These little ones amaze us every single week. One of the best parts of teaching this age group is hearing their perspective on the things we learn. My favorite moment today came after we talked about how God created man from the dust of the ground. I said, “Isn’t that crazy?” and one of our kiddos quickly responded, “That’s just how good God is!”

What a blessing it is to see children so young already recognizing and appreciating the goodness of God. Their faith, excitement, and understanding remind us that God is at work in every heart, no matter how small. We are so thankful for the opportunity to teach and learn alongside these precious children each week!

❤️ Genesis 2:7 KJV — “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures! 🌸

Today we celebrate the love, strength, prayers, and sacrifices you pour into your families each and every day. Thank you for the countless ways you serve, encourage, and reflect the love of Christ to those around you.

We were also so thankful to have Bro. Danny Wyatt bring the message this morning. We appreciate the word the Lord laid on his heart and the blessing he was to our church service today!

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed…” — Proverbs 31:28

We love and appreciate all of our mothers so very much! 💕
