Local Spotlight: Grand Highway Baptist Church

New to the Clermont, Florida area? Long time resident looking for a church? Look no further than Grand Highway Baptist Church.

Grand Highway Baptist Church is located at 100 North Grand Highway Clermont, Florida 34711.

Founded by Dr. Lloyd Meyer and his wife, Grand Highway Baptist Church is an Independent Baptist Church. The church is pastored by Joel Shackleford.

Grand Highway is small in stature, but large in heart. From the minute you walk in the door, you will feel the love of the people there. I have been to many churches and can honestly say that I have never felt as comfortable and at home as I do at Grand Highway.

As an Independent Baptist Church, Grand Highway has the following beliefs:

1.) You must be born again to get to heaven. What does that mean? You must confess you are a sinner and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and forgive you of your sins. You must believe that Jesus came to this earth, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and not only died on the cross for your sins, but also rose from the grave on the third day.

2.) Baptism is a command from God after salvation, not a requirement.

3.) The Bible is the inherent Truth. Grand Highway believes that the King James version is the closet we have to the original.

4.) The Godhead. One triune God consisting of three persons: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

5.) Total Depravity of Man. Man was created in God's image but became alienated from God after Adam's sin.

6.) Eternal Security. Once you are Saved, you have that assurance, you can never lose your salvation.

7.) The Church. The Local church is made up of saved people and is the body and bride of Christ.

8.) The second advent of Christ. We believe in the imminent return of Christ who will rapture his church.

Grand Highway is very active in soul reaching. Currently, we have a local outreach every 1st Tuesday of the month to send flyers, cards and tracts to the community.

Grand Highway is very active in missions. We are proud to support 20 missionaries at this time.

So is Grand Highway just about preaching and praying? Not at all. We love the fellowship of one another. We have church activities planned every month. What do a bunch of Christians do for fun? Well, we have had bowling nights, movie nights and this summer we had a deep sea fishing trip. Come join us, we like to have fun!!
