We are so glad that you found us.

With the continuing national health crisis, we are planning our Easter celebration and worship experience for outdoors under a huge tent. We can be all together and still practice social distancing. There will be one service at 10am with a special children’s Easter program in the fellowship hall.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Question: Where should I park?
Answer: There will be parking attendants in our lot to direct you that day. There will be special reserved parking for those with special needs. We are asking those who are able to park across the street to make spots closer to the venue more accessible for those who need it.

Question: What about seating? Do I need to bring my own chair like our normal outdoor service?
Answer: There will be plenty of seats under the tent for everyone, and they will be spaced according to our present precautions. You may bring your own chairs for seating on the lawn outside the tent if you would like. There will also be special provisions for those who need to remain in their car listening to the service through the radio.

Question: Will there be special plans for children?
Answer: The nursery will be open for birth through preschool age children. There will also be an exciting children’s worship at 10am for Kindergarten through 4th grade in our fellowship hall. Deacons will be around that day to guide families to the correct entrance.

Question: Being that the service is outdoors, what are the safety precautions in place for Easter Sunday?
Answer: We will continue to follow our current safety precautions presently in place for Sunday worship. (Masks, social distancing, etc.).
Part of our Holy Week observance will be a contemplative Maundy Thursday experience, online, Thursday April 1 at 7:00 pm. Check the King’s Grant At-a-Glance for the Zoom link.

Celebrate Easter 2017

Sunday April 16 is Easter this year! Plan now, and pray that God will do great things through King’s Grant Baptist Church. May people attend worship with an expectation that they will encounter God through music, Scripture, prayer, and the message that God has given Pastor Ken.

On April 2, Invite Cards will be available so members can hand them out and invite neighbors, co-workers, and unchurched friends to worship with them.

On April 9, Palm Sunday, church members are invited to take door-hangers to let neighbors know about what KGBC has to offer on Easter Sunday.

On April 13, at 7:30 p.m., we are planning a Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service (a service of light and shadows) with music, readings, communion, moving from light into darkness.

After the Maundy Thursday service, we have challenged the members and regular attendees of King’s Grant to fast and pray that evening through sundown on Good Friday. We have been preparing for this communal fasting and praying time all month, and a special guide has been prepared to help us focus on Great Commission and Kingdom Building needs.

On April 16, Join us to celebrate the resurrection at 8:30 or 11:00 a.m. in the sanctuary or 11:00 a.m. in the Well, our contemporary worship experience. This day will also be the first day for Pastor Ken as our senior pastor! There will be special children’s activities during the 11:00 hour, something not to be missed!
