About

In April 2020, our church celebrated its 45th anniversary. Truly, we have many reasons to celebrate! We marvel at how God has blessed and used Grand Strand Baptist Church in many different ways over the years. Our church first met on Wednesday, April 2nd, 1975, in a rented warehouse in Myrtle Beach Industrial Park. Ninety-five people were present. Our church had 172 Charter Members (those joining within 90 days). Our present location, on Hospitality Lane, is on five acres of land that was donated by Nick & Lena Mae Lucas (charter members) back in 1976. 

​Pastor Young was our founding Pastor, but God called him to Hendersonville, NC, in early 1979, but the Lord returned him back to us in June 1986. He has enjoyed a fruitful ministry here, once again, since that time. To God be all the glory! 

Throughout our history, God has always kept His gracious hand upon our ministry and blessed its many outreaches. We believe great things are on the horizon for our church, as we continue to be faithful to our Savior and His work here in Myrtle Beach. 

We are continuing on the journey to make our church ministry-driven. Everyone can be involved in some ministry. And should our Lord tarry His coming, we truly want to remain a lighthouse in this growing community, building bridges for our families into the future. It is our desire to be well prepared with effective leadership and ministry since people need the Lord now more than ever. With 82% or so of the children in our public schools being un-churched, the fields are white unto harvest! Children are our future. 

We trust many more souls will be saved, and discipled, as we continue to reach out beyond our four walls. Our vision has always been to evangelize our community, and to reach around the world with the gospel, through missions. May we always allow God to use us in any way that He sees fit, all for His glory, and the furtherance of His Kingdom!
