About Us
Our History
In 1972 there was much interest shown in beginning a new Independent Baptist Church in the Madisonville Kentucky area. In the fall of that year, Grace Baptist Church was started. The following January the church was officially organized. The congregation purchased seven and a half acres of land on Lenin Road and immediately began building on the property. At present time there are over 25,000 square feet of space used almost every day in the work of the ministry.
Our Pastor
Pastor Chris Gouger
Pastor Chris Gouger was saved as a teenager under the ministry of Ronnie Wilburn in Hickman, Kentucky. At the age of 25, he surrendered to preach the gospel and has been preaching now for over 32 years.
Pastor Gouger has a Bachelor of Science degree in pastoral theology and has been the pastor of Grace Baptist Church since August 27th, 2023. Bro. Gouger believes that church should be exciting, and engaging and should be enjoyed, not endured. His bible preaching and loving leadership bring a sense of excitement to Grace Baptist Church. Bro. Gouger and his wife Patti reside in Madisonville Kentucky.
