Dear Friend Of Grace, I count it a privilege to Shepherd such a loving church family. Grace is a family church. There are many families who worship together here, but even more importantly, through faith in Jesus Christ, we are all family! I think you'll notice it as soon as you meet us in person. We are striving together to make a difference in our world, our community, and in the lives of others. It is our goal to get the Good News of the Gospel into every home in the City of Pekin, to see children, moms and dads, and grandparents come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Will you join us in this adventure of Grace? Come visit with us and experience Grace for yourself! Striving Together,  |   | Randy & Theresa Justus officially started their ministry at Grace Baptist Church on January 1, 1986.
