Grace Baptist Church

About this church

Grace Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist congregation at 1102 East Main Street in Vermillion. Sunday School for grades three through twelve and an adult Bible study begin at 9 a.m., followed by corporate worship at 10. The main service includes music, preaching, the Lord's Table, and congregational fellowship. Nursery care serves newborns through age three, while children from prekindergarten through second grade remain for the music before going to an age-specific Bible lesson. Every fifth Sunday is a Family Sunday, with children staying through the full service and receiving listening guides.

Grace began as a Bible study for University of South Dakota students in 1978 and grew into a church serving both the university and wider Vermillion community. A college Bible study continues that original connection. Weekly small groups meet Tuesdays at 3 p.m. and Wednesdays at 7 for Scripture, prayer, and shared life, and a women's Bible Study Fellowship meets Tuesday mornings. The church's model intentionally combines intergenerational worship with age-tailored teaching rather than separating children for the entire morning. Visitors can expect a simple Sunday schedule, regular Communion, college-community roots, and several smaller gatherings where relationships can develop beyond the main service.
