Missions
We accept the following statement as scripturally
binding upon Christ’s church: "The Lord Jesus Christ
has commanded His Church to make disciples of every nation. Every
Christian in every local church, in every country of the world,
is called upon to be a witness to the saving power of Jesus Christ.
No matter who we are and where we are, if we claim Jesus as Lord,
God’s good intention for us is that we should proclaim our
faith by what we say and how we live."1
The purpose of the Missions Ministry is to
keep the fire of missionary vision burning in the hearts of the
congregation and to set before the body as a whole and before
each member individually the opportunities and obligations of
the outreach or missionary aspect of its total ministry.
Some of the outreach opportunities that are
a part of the Missions Ministry of Grace Bible Church include:
Neighborhood Outreach
These regularly scheduled outreach events allow us to reach hundreds
of homes in our surrounding neighborhoods with the message of
the Gospel in written form while extending to them a personal
invitation to visit our church services.
Summer Missions Outreach Program
These trips allow multiple small teams to share in the ministry
of our supported missionaries and other like-minded missions endeavors,
by spending a week or two "in the trenches", sharing
the Gospel and proclaiming the glory of God through word and deed.
Prison Outreach
This outreach allows qualified individuals to gain access to the
local detention facilities on a regular basis in order to conduct
evangelistic services and Bible studies with the inmates. In conjunction
with the GBC Tape Ministry, this outreach is poised to expand
into a full-fledged correspondence program for discipleship training
of inmates who have come to faith in Christ.
