Overview of Grace Baptist Church of Laurel

Grace Baptist Church (GBC) of Laurel is an independent fundamental Baptist church devoted to the salvation of souls and the building up of believers through the preaching of the whole Word of God. It is a Church home for true believers and their families where they may be fed on the Word, developed spiritually, and trained for usefulness in service. The constant aim is to carry the gospel to the lost everywhere, both at home and abroad.

Our mission is to make disciples who become mature believers in Jesus Christ, devoted to worshiping and serving Him. GBC has had a history of Pastors who strive to teach the whole Bible accurately, without fear or compromise. Pastor Mike Hammons is the Senior Pastor at GBC. The church's policies and governance are handled through the members of the church (self-government).
