Jesus Christ is the gospel. The good news is revealed in his birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension. Christ’s crucifixion is the heart of the gospel, his resurrection is the power of the gospel, and his ascension is the glory of the gospel. Christ’s death is a substitutionary and propitiatory sacrifice to God for our sins. It satisfies the demands of God’s holy justice and appeases his holy wrath. It also demonstrates his mysterious love and reveals his amazing grace. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. There is no other name by which men must be saved. At the heart of all sound doctrine is the cross of Jesus Christ and the infinite privilege that redeemed sinners have of glorifying God because of what he has accomplished. Therefore, we want all that takes place in our hearts, churches and ministries to proceed from and be related to the cross.

We gather on Sundays to rehearse and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Although every Sunday is different the program below is a good guide to what we do each week.

A nursery is available during morning worship for children 0-3 years of age.
If you have young children, don't feel you must suppress their wiggles while we worship. You are encouraged to quietly explain the different parts of the service and the actions of those leading us. Remember that our children learn by watching. Worship with them by your side.
If you need to leave the service with your child, feel free to do so. There is also a cry room available in the rear of the auditorium.
For children 4 years of age and older, one of the best learning environments is the morning worship service. Children, even before they can comprehend all of the words spoken, learn invaluable lessons about Christ as parents teach them about worship, prayer, and listening attentively to God’s word.
Activity notebooks are available to help children learn to be attentive to his word. The notebooks are located on a cart in the back of the auditorium. Please place used activity books on the bottom of the shelf at the conclusion of the service.

In the providence of God, nine individuals came to the Wisconsin Territory with a desire to build on new land claims in the Town of Warren (now the Village of Merton). These individuals also came with a desire to worship their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And so, on August 31, 1843, a local church was formed.
Originally named Warren Baptist Church and then for many years First Baptist Church of Merton, our name is now Grace Hill Church. Their first convert was baptized 18 months later in the Bark River. A church building was built in 1855, which was used for worship until 2009 when a new building was built on 13 acres of farmland on the south edge of the Village.
One consistent theme throughout its long history has been a commitment to preserve and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are grateful to God for how He has kept His people faithful to the Gospel in the past, and we earnestly desire for God to continue that work in His people here in Merton and beyond for the Glory of His great name.
