Our story began in 1973 when Hillcrest Baptist Church helped establish Dubois Baptist Mission. From our first small gathering, we grew steadily, changing our name to Dubois Baptist Chapel in 1974, and then to Wilderness Baptist Church in 1976 when we were officially constituted. With the support of various churches and dedicated members, we completed our first building in 1976. In 2012, we moved into our current location at 27 Gilliland Ave.

In 2015, we adopted the name Mountain Grace to reflect our renewed mission. Today, we are a family united by faith and committed to serving our community with love. We invite you to join us as we continue to grow and share the transformative power of God’s grace.
