About Us
At Grace Baptist Church Halifax, we are a community of believers who are captivated by the grace of God. We believe that our identity as a church is found ultimately not in anything we have done or can do, but in what God has done for us in sending Jesus into the world. Our mission is to share the good news of this grace with our community, and to serve those in need with the love of Christ. We invite you to join us on this journey of faith and discover the life-transforming power of God's grace.
We are led by our elders Luke Jenner (full time) and Andrew Binns, who are assisted by our two deacons David Bownas,
Joseph Ferreira Campos.
