Grace and Truth Church of Athens
Grace and Truth Church was planted on August 25, 2024. We are a Reformed Baptist church located in Athens, Ohio. Our commitment is to bring glory to the Lord through Biblical worship, both corporately and individually, publicly and privately, gathered or spread abroad. Smiles Welch is the Pastor of Preaching and Vision at Grace and Truth, therefore most of the sermons you hear on this podcast will be from him.
We believe that the expositional preaching of the Scriptures brings God the most glory and His people the most benefit, therefore we are committed to faithful expository preaching. We trust that the gospel of the grace of Jesus Christ will continue to prove to be the only sufficient power to save souls and build His church, just as He has demonstrated to be true over the entire course of history.
Sundays: 1:30pm Prayer, 2:00pm Sunday School, 3:00pm Worship. Potluck-style meal after worship each week!
Wednesdays: 6:30pm Bible Study and Prayer
Our address is: 3374 Pleasant Hill Rd. Athens, OH 45701.
May the Word of God richly bless you through the ministry of Grace and Truth Church.
