The Thornlands Bible Church stands before you, a beacon of faith in the Redlands region. You might be surprised to know that this church has a long and fascinating history, interwoven with the very fabric of the Redlands community. It was established in 1973, a time when Thornlands was a sleepy coastal town. Over 50 years, the church played a vital role in the community, offering comfort, guidance, and a spiritual home to many.
However, as the Redlands grew, so did the church’s vision for spreading the word of God. They started to work with other churches in the area, sharing ideas and resources. This network of churches became a powerful force in the Redlands, working together to bring the gospel to more people. In 2024, the church decided to take a bold step. They merged with Grace Bible Church, a group of believers from Holland Park who shared the same vision for sharing the Christian faith.
This merger was a significant event. It brought together two groups of people from diverse backgrounds, all united by their love of Christ. This new chapter saw the church rebranded as Grace Bible Church Thornlands. It continues to be a place of growth, welcoming people from all walks of life and playing a crucial role in the Redlands community. It celebrates the legacy of the original Thornlands Bible Church, carrying forward that rich history as it embraces the future, ready to make a positive impact on the Redlands.
