The Character of God: Greatness
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales; behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.
Isaiah 40:14 (ESV)

A friendly reception will be the first thing you will receive. We make sure you are personally greeted with a smile! Clearly marked signs and campus maps will help you find locations simply, but we do even more—caring volunteers will connect you to wherever you want to go. If you are disabled or have a handful of little ones, we will assist you to make navigating our campus as pleasant as possible. We don’t want anyone to feel alone. There are abundant opportunities for all generations and we welcome everyone. Dress however you feel most comfortable. The truth is, you will find some of our folks dress casually and some dress more formally.
GBC’s worship services are a blend of casual and formal, contemporary and traditional. Our services typically last 90 minutes. Included in the service is a time of welcome from one of our pastors and weekly announcements. This is usually followed by worship through song (and our people love to sing) and the reading of God’s Word and prayer as we prepare our hearts for the teaching time. There may be a baptism or a personal testimony given by someone joining the membership of the church. About halfway through the morning service, we provide an opportunity for children (ages 4 &5) to leave together to attend a children’s lesson during the sermon. We traditionally partake of the Lord's Supper on the third Sunday of the month, alternating one month in the morning service and the next in the evening service. There is always an opportunity for individuals to pray with a pastor or another church leader after each service.
Our pastors preach through books of the Bible verse by verse. This is the best way we have found to understand the message of the whole Bible and to grow in our faith and devotion to our wonderful God.
