If this is your first time at GBC – welcome! We are pretty casual – most people are probably in jeans or business casual. If you really like to wear a tie, you are still welcome, but it certainly isn’t necessary to dress up. All ages are welcome and are represented at Grace. We have lots of young families, lots of babies, toddlers. But then, of course, we have grandmothers and grandfathers. GBC is about all people - wherever you are at in your life, in your journey with Jesus, whether you know much about Christianity or not – you are welcome to come!
What You Can Expect
PRAISE MUSIC
We sing old and new hymns and songs. There is so much to sing about and in fact, as we travel through the Word, we find people singing in times of grief and sorrow, blessing and happiness. They sang because they saw something great in God or because they learned something new about Him.
EXPOSITORY PREACHING
For 40-45 minutes we listen as the Word of God is explained and applied book by book, passage by passage. God’s Word is relevant, telling the great stories which help us understand God, His saving work, our lives and our culture. Check out our Sermon Page to find out about the current topic. We usually alternate between Old Testament and New Testament books. Past series have included: Luke, Romans, Revelation, Philippians, Deuteronomy, Job etc.
FELLOWSHIP AND COFFEE
Coffee, tea, and even refreshments for children and some snacks are available after the service in Friendship Hall. At the end of the service, if you go through either door at the front of the sanctuary, you will find our Fellowship Hall. It is a great way to get to know others – share a laugh, share a coffee, share some of life.
NURSERY AND CHILD CARE
Our nursery (located at the end of the hall on 2nd floor) is a large and bright room for ages 0 to 3. The nursery runs during the morning service. Our Kids Bible Time (Jr. Church- ages 4-6) runs during the sermon time and it is also located on the 2nd floor. All child-care workers are trained through our child protection program and undergo police checks. We seek to provide loving care for these precious little ones.

Occasionally we may have events in the basement or a meal in the Activity Center in the basement. The basement, which also has additional washrooms, can also be reached by the elevator.
A SAFE PLACE FOR KIDS
At GBC we take vulnerable person and child safety very seriously, which is why we have spent so much time developing our procedures and policies. Our Community Protection Plan requires all of our vulnerable person volunteers to complete our official training and certification. This certification includes seminars in which each volunteer actively participates along annual refresher courses, an up-to-date vulnerable sector police check, interview and references. We seek to provide high accountability and care in these areas in order to best protect the vulnerable. To request a copy of our Grace Bible Church child and vulnerable persons protection policy you can contact us.
PARKING MAP
Parking for a downtown church location may mean a bit more exercise. We have ample parking around the church – both on the street and in the designated lots shown on the link to the maps. There are literally hundreds of parking spots available, so finding a spot should be easy.
We are grateful as a church to be part of the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada (Central Region). For more information on the Fellowship click here.
