Grace Immanuel Bible Church just wrapped another year of amazing Christmas concerts - this year called Christmas at Grace. These are always such a joy to be a part of (yes, even the congregation gets to join in the singing at times), and I always look forward to attending. You can check out my review of the concert in my latest article for The Believer's Byline, and if you missed the live performance I have included a link to the online broadcast in the references section of the article. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

GRACE IMMANUEL BIBLE CHURCH – Christmas concerts are plentiful this time of year, but every so often one comes along that does far more than showcase musical talent. Rather than feeling like a member of an audience watching a performance, I found myself drawn fully into worship itself. That was my...

Every day, the Lord has countless reasons to condemn any one of us. Our sins, our weaknesses, and even our best intentions fall short of His perfect holiness. As Scripture says, “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23, BSB). Left to ourselves, we would have no hope. ...

The Believer's Byline recently shared the story of the Spruce Lodge fire at Victory Bible Camp, a place very near and dear to our heart. Now the camp needs the help of all those who have been touched by its ministry for Christ. Learn all about how you can help in the latest post from Victory.

As we prayerfully plan and strategize for the rebuilding of Spruce Lodge we are looking for an individual who would be willing to volunteer and serve as a general contractor. If you have experience, know how, ability, competency, and the time, or know somebody who might be interested in this opportunity, please contact Mike Dreiske: [email protected].

Our goal is to finish the cleanup before additional snow arrives with plans to start construction of the foundation once the snow has cleared in the spring.

We have a dedicated page on our website that provides information regarding the Spruce fire. ⬇
