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!  Will you join us?
