Mission and Values

Our Mission
“Reach the Unreached. Equip Disciples. Empower to Influence.”

GBC’S BASIC SET OF “PEARLS” OR VALUES:

Prayer and worship:
We believe that the literal presence and power of God is manifested as these disciplines are expressed through individual, small group, and corporate settings on a regular ongoing basis.

Evangelism:
We believe that Jesus’ Great Commission to “go and make disciples of all nations” is the responsibility of every believer.  And that mandate begins with reaching the unreached with the gospel of Jesus Christ through loving friendships, acts of compassion and supernatural interventions.  “Each one reach one each year” is thus a slogan widely heard in the GBC family.

Assimilation into small groups:
We believe that people grow best when processing life through the lens of biblical truth through meaningful small group relationships. Jesus showed us the way when he chose 12 disciples to change the world. We are therefore a church whose primary focus is to connect every person to a small group family which in turn reaches out to touch others.

Reproducing churches:
We believe that just as believers are to reproduce new believers, churches are to reproduce other churches. GBC is therefore committed to planting new churches locally, nationally and globally. The goal is not just to add, but to multiply.

Leadership development:
We feel a strong call to respond to Jesus’ burden when he said, “The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few.”  Therefore, GBC is committed to training leaders who in turn, can raise up other leaders whether it is for fulltime ministry or the secular marketplace.

Sending out leaders and workers:
We believe that to reach the world, it is our “sending capacity” and not just our “seating capacity” that will make the difference.  GBC is therefore committed to sending people to the nations of the earth in uncompromising obedience to the Great Commission to serve in both short and long term missions.
