Missions: Get Involved!
We believe that there has never been a more exciting time in history for mission ministry. Now more than ever we need to reach not just around the world but across the street to demonstrate Christ’s love to a lost and hurting world. At GCBC we are involved in a variety of missions. Everyone’s help is needed – there’s a place for you! Come join us?
