Faith on the trail. Fellowship in the wild.

Come Walk With Us

Grace and Grit Collective is a hiking ministry of Calvary Baptist Church of Fulton. We believe some of the best conversations about God happen not in a pew, but on a path — with dirt underfoot, a friend beside you, and open sky overhead.

Whether you're chasing a challenge or just want a slow walk and good company, there's a place for you here.

What We're About

We gather twice a week to hike trails within about 25 minutes of Fulton, keeping a conversational pace with room for prayer stops and short devotionals along the way. No experience necessary — just a willingness to show up.

Grace — because none of us hike this life alone or unaided.

Grit — because faith, like a good trail, asks something of you.

Join a Hike

Tuesday Evenings — Main Fellowship Hike

Our flagship hike of the week. We split into beginner, regular, and challenge groups so everyone hikes at a pace that fits them. Trails rotate on a four-week cycle, so there's always something new to explore.

Saturday Mornings — Family & Beginner Walk

Easy pace, every time. Strollers, kiddos, grandparents, and first-timers are all welcome. This is prayer-pace hiking — no one gets left behind.

Meet at 922 W. First St. South, Fulton, unless otherwise noted for a specific trail.

Where We Hike

Our rotation includes some of the best trails and natural spaces in the region:

Great Bear Recreational Trails

Oswego River Pathfinder Trail

Palermo Town Park

Rice Creek Field Station

Fallbrook Recreation Center

Battle Island State Park

Lake Neatahwanta

Breitbeck Park

Oswego County Recreation Trail

We also plan periodic special outings to farther destinations like Sterling Nature Center and Derby Hill Bird Observatory — worth the extra drive.

What to Bring:

Sturdy shoes

Water

A heart ready for good conversation

That's it. We'll handle the rest.
