Our Reformed Baptist Heritage
Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Freeport is firmly rooted in the historic Reformed Baptist tradition, connecting our local body to the enduring doctrines of grace and the authority of the Word. We find our theological expression through the New Hampshire Confession of Faith, a historic document that clearly outlines our convictions.
- Historical Tradition: Standing within the stream of Particular Baptists who embraced the sovereignty of God in salvation.
- New Hampshire Confession: Adopting these articles as a concise and biblically faithful summary of our key doctrines.
- Biblical Authority: Affirming the sufficiency of Scripture as the ultimate rule for faith and practice.
- Gospel Centeredness: Proclaiming salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Our Services are Simple...
Since we believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, we endeavor to make that Word central to all aspects of our worship. It not only fills our worship — it defines how we worship.
For all preaching and teaching, we use the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) as our primary translation.
We sing songs of praise to our God and Savior.(Ephesians 5:19)
We seek His face through sincere and fervent prayer.(1 Timothy 2:1, 8)
We reverently listen as He speaks through the reading, teaching, and preaching of His Word.(2 Timothy 4:1–2)
We remember our Lord’s death through the Lord’s Supper.(Acts 2:42)
