Church Life


WOMEN

The Grange Baptist Womens’ Fellowship (BWF) is an enthusiastic group of women of all ages, with diverse gifts and interests, yet all committed to displaying God’s love through a ministry that equips women to grow, serve, and reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through this ministry the women support various missionary organisations.

“Equipping women to grow, serve and reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Meetings are held regularly in Grange Baptist Church Hall, with special meetings organised and announced as required.  Please come along to any of our events or meetings and you will be made most welcome!

Womens’ ministry helps us grow together in the knowledge of the Lord.  We thank Him for each and every woman who joins us. Our meetings are filled with prayer, worship, testimonies, and the Word. Womens’ fellowship evenings conclude with chat over a cup of tea in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Feel free to drop in and join us.

The Grange Baptist Ladies Fellowship has close links with the wider ☞ Womens’ Ministries ☜ within the Association of Baptist churches in Ireland.


PRE-SCHOOL – CHILDRENS – YOUTH – YOUNG ADULTS

The purpose of Grange Baptist Church Youth Ministries is to lead young people to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to disciple them through the study of God’s Word, and to foster healthy Christian fellowship. Once a young person gives their heart and life to Jesus Christ, the most important thing they can do is to study the Word of God and learn how to apply it to everyday life. We disciple and encourage our young people (as with all) to take an active part in the life of the church family and assist them in identifying and developing gift and areas of ministry and service which they can be part of.

“Young Christians are not just to be thought of as ‘the church of tomorrow’ but we need to recognise that they are in fact also a vital part of the church of today!”

Come along you will be made very welcome (you do not need to be associated with Grange Baptist to attend and the following age ranges are a guide). The wider pre-school, children’s, youth, and young adults ministries encompasses:

  • Young Adults (18 + years)
  • Youth Club (11 – 18 years)
  • Sunday School & Bible Class (4 – 18 years)
  • Holiday Bible Club (4 – 11 years)
  • Encounter Youth Fellowship (11 – 29 years)
  • JOY Club Children’s Meeting (4 – 11 years)
  • Little Ones Tots Group (0 – 4 years)
  • Crèche Ministry (0 – 3 years)

The well equipped and spacious church halls provide excellent facilities for the various youth ministries. Link to ☞ Baptist Youth Ministries ☜ within the Association of Baptist churches in Ireland.


MEN

At Grange Baptist we seek to support and equip men of different ages, experience, and backgrounds, as they live out the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in their day-to-day lives. We meet several times a year for informal outings and special ministry meetings as announced.

“What the church needs today is not more machinery or novel methods but men; men full of the Holy Spirit and power.”

These special events provide opportunities to invite friends and to meet with others in a relaxed environment. The men are encouraged to serve and be involved in the ministry of the wider church, and to be active in reaching others with the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. A highlight of the calendar is the Men’s Breakfast; a seasonal opportunity to invite friends to hear God’s word and enjoy a morning of chat over a good Ulster Fry!
