Vision for GBC
This is our goal and our dream which helps to direct where we are going and what we are doing…
To be a church of disciples (Jn 15; Eph 5:1-2; 1 Jn 2:5-6) making disciples (Mt 28:19-20; Titus 2:1-7), reaching those in our community with the hope of Christ (Acts 1:8), and commissioning disciples to the unreached worldwide (Acts 13:1-3; Rom 10:15).
Mission of GBC
This is what drives us as a church. It’s what we do…
Loving God. Loving Others.
“‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ Jesus said to him, ‘ “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” All the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.’ ” – Matthew 22:36-40 NET
Purpose of GBC
As a family of believers in Jesus Christ, our goal is to glorify God by making disciples for Him who:
- EXALT Him in heartfelt worship (Jn 4:24; 1 Cor 10:31)
- Share the gospel (EVANGELIZE) locally and worldwide (Acts 1:8)
- EDIFY one another so we can become spiritually mature (Rom 14:19; 1 Thess 5:11)
- EQUIP one another so we can be effective servants of God affecting the lives of others with His love (Eph 4:11-12; Heb 10:24)
MESSAGE
From the beginning, this has been the message that we preach and that is central to all we do.
by GRACE alone, through FAITH alone, in CHRIST alone
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9 NET
