Make Space

We want to offer you a mid-day time with Jesus in the quiet of the Sanctuary. The word sanctuary means a place of refuge, and that is what we want to offer. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00-1:00, our doors will be open for you to come pray and be still. We will have coffee and a quiet environment ready for you to rest with the Father.


Is your child asking questions about salvation?

GBC Kidz is excited to JUMPSTART the conversation of salvation for your family. Our Children’s Minister, Emily, will offer a Jumpstart class the first Sunday of every month at 10:00am. This is a great way to meet your child on their level and discuss the important topics of salvation and baptism. You can let Emily know you plan to attend by clicking the button below!
