Smallgroups are the best way to participate in the life of Grace Bible Church. If you are not in a smallgroup, you can see the InfoTable for more information.

Grace Bible Church houses a food pantry on campus. The food pantry is intended to help meet the benevolence needs of those within our church body as well as, at times, those outside of our church. If you are in need or would like more information about the food pantry please contact Jackson Kennedy ([email protected]).

Anyone attending GBC is invited to participate in a time of prayer Sunday mornings from 8:15-8:45am in the conference room to share prayer requests, pray for various GBC ministries, and for the GBC worship service. For more details, contact the church office ([email protected]).

Building Fund
As GBC grows, so does the need to maintain, update, and even expand our facilities. We are currently considering a special building project that includes updating the worship center, finishing the interior warehouse area and expanding the facility to include a new larger classroom and outdoor courtyard area. If you would like to give toward this special building project, please mark your donation as “Building Fund”. If you have any questions please reach out to the office ([email protected]).

I have found Consider the Lilies to be one of the most practically helpful books on anxiety and God’s character I have read. Jonny Ardavanis gives us more than good teaching about anxiety—he helps us use our anxiety as a call to consider who God is and trust Him. God is good, He is in control, and if we belong to Christ, we are His children, purchased and adopted in love at the immeasurable cost of His Son’s death on the cross. When Jesus tells us to “consider the lilies”, He directs us to the character of the Father who cares for them—and how much more will He care for His children? The solution to our anxiety is faith in our trustworthy God, and the best time to prepare for trials is before they come. I really want everyone at GBC to read this book in October. Read it with your Bible open, and consider reading it with a spouse, child, or friend. As we read together, may Grace Bible Church grow in faith, godliness, and peaceful trust in our good and faithful God. – Jacob Hantla
