Baptist Builder—
Heritage Grace Baptist Church, Kitchener, ON
Appeal: #251
Heritage Grace Baptist Church (HGBC) was planted in September 2020 out of Grandview Baptist Church in Kitchener, ON. The early days of HGBC were complicated (as were everyone’s!) as they navigated planting a church in the midst of a pandemic, but God was faithful, notably in providing a great rental space for them over the past four-and-a-half years.
In God’s kind provision, an opportunity has arisen to see HGBC purchase a building in Kitchener, used by a United Church congregation, which is closing down. This building is located close to where HGBC has been gathering since their beginning and its central location is easy to get to (both by car and public transit)—plus, it’s located in the heart of the city, providing amazing opportunities for ministry there.
It has been exciting to see the way God has been bringing this opportunity about with the unanimous support of both Heritage Grace members and the congregation of the United Church that is closing. An agreement has been reached, the offer has been accepted, and Heritage Grace is now actively fundraising to see this opportunity become a reality.
Funds raised will be used for the purchase price of the building along with some work that needs to be done to make sure this building is safe, comfortable, and effective for ministry.
Would you partner with this congregation in seeing this building recovered for Gospel ministry in Kitchener? Would you pray that this would be a space where Christ is proclaimed for many years to come? And would you give generously to help Heritage Grace Baptist Church with this practical aspect of their mission to glorify God by showing and sharing the love of Jesus Christ?
