Our Purpose, Vision, Values

E-mail Print PDF

Our purpose is to honor God by sharing the love of Jesus Christ in our community and world.

Our vision is to invite people into the fellowship of God’s family, help each person grow to maturity in Christ and equip them to be the presence of Christ in our community* and world.

To this purpose and vision we commit by the grace of God.

 

Our values are principles we live by and hold deeply to enable us to fulfill our purpose. We value being…

God-Centered

We were created to please God. We want to bring honor and praise to God and bear witness to His Son, Jesus Christ. This means that God is first in everything from our public worship to our commitments as individuals to honor God in all that we do and say.

Bible-Based

The teaching of God’s word permeates the life of GBC. The Bible is God’s word and must be applied in what we believe and how we behave toward God and others.

Spiritual Growth Enthusiasts

 We are a church that captures your heart, challenges your thinking and celebrates your gifts—just like Jesus did with his disciples. We commit to engaging each person and helping them take “next steps” on their spiritual journey.

Outreach-Oriented

We share the love of Christ with our community and our world. In faith we believe that God wants to bless us so that we can be a blessing to others. We commit to serving others sacrificially. We are intentional and joyful about empowering and equipping Christ-followers for ministry in our community* and world

*Community refers to both our community of faith and the area in which God has placed us.
