Grace Baptist Church, a Bible-centered church located just outside of Dallas, Oregon. Known for its loving congregation, friendly atmosphere, and heart for serving others, the church has been a meaningful part of the community for many years.
With a faithful church family, a long-serving pastor, and a strong commitment to missions and outreach, Grace Baptist Church wanted a website that better reflected who they are and helped them connect with people beyond their current congregation.
After experiencing challenges with their previous website provider, Grace Baptist Church chose OurChurch.com to create and support a new website that is bright, welcoming, informational, and focused on outreach.
A Bible-Centered Church with a Heart for Community
Grace Baptist Church is full of love and friendliness. Many members of the congregation have been part of the church family for many, many years, creating a strong sense of connection and care.
The church supports missions, participates in community outreach, and partners with other local churches for community events. One of their meaningful outreach efforts includes growing fruits and vegetables and donating hundreds and hundreds of pounds of fresh produce to the local food bank.
Grace Baptist Church is led by Pastor Russ Hilsinger, who has faithfully served the church for more than 30 years.
The church also sponsors Vacation Bible School every year, and the entire congregation gets involved. It is one more way Grace Baptist Church comes together to serve children, families, and the surrounding community.
The Challenge: A Website That Became Difficult to Update
Grace Baptist Church created its first website in 2020 using another church website builder. For a while, everything worked pretty well.
However, when the support model changed, the church found it difficult to get the technical help they needed. Without reliable support, it became harder to solve website issues and keep information updated.
For a church that wanted to communicate clearly with members, visitors, and the community, this became a real challenge.
“I researched other website companies and chose OurChurch to update and support a new website. I am so glad that we did.”
Why Grace Baptist Church Chose OurChurch.com
After researching other website companies and receiving three bids, Grace Baptist Church chose OurChurch.com.
OurChurch.com came well recommended through customer reviews, and the pricing was competitive. But beyond that, Grace Baptist Church needed a website partner that could provide not only a better design but also dependable support.
“OurChurch was well recommended through customer reviews. Their prices were competitive and, after three bids, we chose OurChurch.”
That decision gave Grace Baptist Church confidence that their new website would be handled with care and that they would have the help they needed moving forward.
A Bright and Cheery Website That Reflects the Church
The new Grace Baptist Church website is a much better reflection of the congregation’s heart, tone, and ministry.
“The website is bright and cheery, informational, and sets the true tone of our church.”
Instead of simply functioning as a place for member information, the new website is designed to be more outreach-focused. It helps visitors understand who Grace Baptist Church is, what the church values, and how they can connect.
“Our website is now a much better design. It is more of an outreach website instead of a member informational.”
While the church expects to see more measurable results over the next few months as website statistics are reviewed, the improvement in design, message, and purpose is already clear.
A Positive Experience from the First Contact
Grace Baptist Church appreciated the tone OurChurch.com set from the very beginning.
The team answered questions, helped determine the best package and pricing, and provided a quick turnaround to get the new website completed and live.
“I would tell other churches and businesses that OurChurch sets a positive tone from the very first contact with them. They are happy to answer all your questions, determine the best package and pricing, as well as have a quick turnaround time to get your website done and live within a fraction of the time that other web companies take.”

“I enjoyed working with Erica. She always honored her promises to get back to me, return calls, meet deadlines, etc. She is always lighthearted and approachable about changes and suggested better ways of doing things. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Erica again.”
The church also appreciated the ongoing communication from the OurChurch.com management team, including helpful emails that answered common questions about websites, communication, and online ministry.
“I am happy with our decision to go with OurChurch and highly recommend Erica and the entire team.”
