Grace Baptist Church of Taylors

5020 Old Spartanburg Road
864-322-7717

History:

Grace Baptist Church of Taylors was founded in a small house in 1968. Located on State Park Road in Greenville, the original assembly was named Peoples Bible Church, with a conscious commitment to the expositional preaching of God’s word as the whole counsel of God. The five families who started this church exhibited a heart for missions from the start. The church began supporting several missionary families within the first two years of its incorporation, with 50% of the budget originally earmarked for Missions.

In 1995, having outgrown the State Park Road buildings, efforts to acquire new church facilities without taking on massive debt proved challenging. After many months of searching,Peoples Bible Church was approached by Brushy Creek Baptist Church to see if we would be interested in purchasing their facilities. Brushy Creek was in the process of building a larger complex and wished to see another church occupy this site. With an act of graciousness and with a view to the Kingdom of God, Brushy Creek offered to sell its beautiful, historical property of 6.26 acres at 5020 Old Spartanburg Road in Taylors to Peoples Bible Church for a sum substantially lower than a bid received from a commercial buyer. In addition to moving to a new location in 1995, the name of the church was changed to Grace Baptist Church of Taylors.
