About Us
Grant Park Church, an American Baptist congregation, has been a fixture in our neighborhood since 1926. We are an open-minded, welcoming and affirming congregation that is journeying deeper into the love and knowledge of Christ and inviting all to join us.
Grant Park Church is a place where all are free to grow in their relationship with God, share their experiences, lift up their voice, and be heard. We believe everyone should be free to be who they are in Christ. This means we welcome and celebrate people of all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, abilities, sexual identities and expressions, political leanings, and religious backgrounds. At Grant Park we believe strength is found in unity not uniformity, so we welcome you, your unique story, and your voice.
WORSHIP: Sundays 10:00 am - 11:15 am, with a refreshment time afterwards
Worship is participatory with congregational singing hymns and songs of praise, reading scriptures and public prayer. While we are of the ‘free church’ tradition, we often employ the Revised Common Lectionary for guidance in worship. We generally read from the New Standard Revised Version (NRSV) of the Bible.
KIDS PROGRAMMING
We love kids at Grant Park Church and we seek to mindfully include kids and their families in what we do on Sunday mornings! Most recently, our community has been delighted by welcoming our kids to stay in the sanctuary during worship — this also means they are welcome to make noise as kids do! With an area for kids in the sanctuary with art supplies, kid-friendly activities, and creativity-centered toys, we would be delighted to welcome your entire family to participate together as themselves on Sunday mornings. Additionally, there is a small area outside the sanctuary and in view of the service available to parents and caregivers with young babies.
