Our beliefs
Chiefly, we are a church that affirms that the Protestant Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God.
We hold to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith.
Our pastor preaches from the New King James Version (NKJV) translation of the Protestant Bible.
For a comprehensive overview of our doctrinal positions, please review our Statement of Faith.
Regulative church service
We sing reverent hymns, typically in a cappella format or accompanied by piano, throughout our church service.
Hymnals are provided for use during the service, and we make sure to stock plenty for single visitors and families.
Our pastor leads us in corporate prayer, with opportunities for attendees to participate in prayer on behalf of the church.
Members and visitors in good standing with their church are also welcome to participate in the Lord's Supper, which is typically conducted once per month.
Our pastor reads verse-by-verse through the Scriptures and faithfully explains the meaning and applicability for Christians today.
Sermons follow a sequential Bible reading each week, remaining in the same book until completion, before continuing to the next book.
Attendees are encouraged to fellowship with one another, teaching and discipling appropriately.
We provide free tea, coffee, biscuits, and our members will oftentimes spoil us with some delicious homemade cake!
Our church family
It's always a joy to see the Lord draw more people to Himself, and we're thankful every time we're blessed with new visitors.
To help get you acquainted with our church family, we're delighted to introduce some of our members. Make sure to visit us during our Sunday worship meetings, and we'd be thrilled to meet you.
Introducing Simon, Vicky, and their beautiful family
My family and I have been attending Grace Church for nearly eight years, and it really has been an answer to prayer. For many years of our marriage, my wife and I had been seeking a church that truly puts Christ first by focusing on the Scriptures as our sole basis for worship.
Sharing in fellowship where the Bible is preached from and kept central to our meetings has been a tremendous blessing for us. One we are truly thankful for.
Our pastor
Matthew Richer has served as minister and elder of Grace Church Stafford since 2004.
Both Matthew and his lovely wife, Lisa, have been blessed with four beautiful children: Emily, Daniel, Jack and Noah.
He has also guest-preached at several reformed churches across the UK, including West Park Church in Wolverhampton and Providence Chapel in Hookgate.
Grace Church Stafford is overseen by three trustees: Matthew Richer, Kevin Morton and Simon Waddingham.
Evangelism
Our personally designed tracts are a great way to encourage friends, family and others to visit Grace Church Stafford.
Church members are welcome to utilise our new tracts as part of future evangelistic efforts. Included on every tract is the NKJV translation of John 3:16.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
Psalm 51:10 (NKJV)
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
