Grace Baptist Church opened its doors to the Village of Oak Harbor in 1986. Pastor Richard (Rick) Bickelhaupt was lead to the town soon after his call to preach the Gospel. From renting the town’s local American Legion Hall to the first purchase of an old church building on the corner of Church and Ottawa Streets, God has greatly blessed the ministry to its current location just west of the village. In 1993, God answered prayer with granting a site to build on, and Grace found its permanent home on Toussaint Portage Road between State Routes 105 and 163.

Since 1994, the campus has gone through four major building expansions to accommodate our growing congregation. The church has endured many growth processes over the past 40 years and plans to continue its work for the Lord in and around the community. We have a wonderful, spacious facility with a sanctuary, classrooms, nursery/toddler rooms, kitchen, large fellowship hall and more to meet the needs of discipling people to follow Christ. It is a place where ministries abound and people are consistently reached and discipled for Christ.
