Grace Baptist Church - Eldoret was constituted into a local church in November 2008. However, church plant work began in 2006 through one-to-one evangelism. Meetings began in the Pastor's living room but after one year, the space proved too small. God in His goodness through friends enabled us to put up a marquee which we call 'Tent of meeting.' It can seat up to 100 people. The church is praying for a piece of land upon which it can build a sanctuary as it is using the front of the Pastor's rented house.

We are a church that believes, preaches and teaches the Bible (66 Books) as the whole counsel of God. We adhere to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. We teach and uphold the Reformed Faith or as commonly called 'The Doctrines of Grace.' We pray and labour towards seeing the Reformed Faith spread in our cities and towns and this in turn will have its influence in our villages.

We have 18 in the membership those who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and have been baptized. People are very mobile just like in any fast growing cities and towns around the world. During school days, most of our young people are away in boarding schools. Majority in the congregation are unemployed. The men seek for odd jobs as casual workers in the open air markets called Jua Kali (hot sun)  informal sector.

Our Sunday meetings begin at 9.30am with singing, learning memory verses and learning Shorter Catechism. Sunday schools for children, youth and adults run from 10.00am till 10.45am. Sunday service begins at 11.00am till 12.30pm. There is a 'Tea Fellowship' after service.

Other ministries include:
1. Bible study at the University on Sunday afternoons
2. Mid week Prayer Meeting on Wednesday at 5.00pm
3. Cell group Bible study on Thursday evenings
4. Men's Breakfast on first Saturday of the month
5. Ladies Fellowship first Thursday of the month
6. Preachers Class three Saturdays in a month
7. Children's Club on Saturdays during school holidays
8. Lord's Supper the first Sunday of the month

If you are in or around Eldoret, we warmly welcome you to worship with us. Please pray for us.

By grace,
Naphtally Ogallo.
