Grace Baptist Church began on February 15, 1987 when Weldrick Road Baptist and Liberty Baptist merged to form a new fellowship. Weldrick Road had been established in the 1950’s but had dwindled in numbers and was struggling to carry on. Liberty was a three-year-old church plant under the leadership of Doug Sargeant with 65 people meeting in a school in Thornhill, Ontario. Together these congregations possessed vision, momentum and a building in a strategic part of a growing community.

Over the years, Grace has impacted the community in many ways. There’s been a food delivery service to the poor, a deaf ministry which grew into a deaf church, a pre-school which ministered to hundreds of families over its 15-year ministry, a soccer league hosted right on our property, as well as day camps, clothing relief and a host of ministries that continue today. More than anything Grace has been a place where the Gospel has been proclaimed and God’s Word has changed lives.
