Children’s Groups

Sunday Morning

This Fall, our children’s ministry will be starting our new Discipleland curriculum during the 9am teaching hour for the purpose of better understanding who God is and what He has done. Our children’s classes are broken down into age-appropriate small groups for the purpose of facilitating lifelong friendships and developmentally conscious teaching. This Fall, our teachers will be Carol Lorntson, Lynn Eubank, and Bonnie Baker with Holly Baker coordinating the large group component of our children’s programming.

 

Youth Groups

Sunday Morning

Our seventh through twelfth graders will be involved in an exciting journey this Fall as they study Biblical principles for life under the capable leadership of Trent Becker and other qualified adult leaders from our church during the 9am teaching hour. Trent has a passion for making the Bible understandable to pre-teens and teens alike and this enthusiasm carries through into the Sunday teaching hour. Some previous topics have ranged from "truth" to "angels and demons" to faith-principles found in the Book fo Philemon.

Monthly Worship Team Study

Our youth also have a chance to get involved under the capable leadership of Amanda Jennings with assistance from Pastor Kevin on a once-per-month basis centering around our youth worship Sunday (typically the third Sunday of the month). These times will normally involve a meal or brief fun outing and a study before or after worship practice (depending upon time).

 

Adult Groups

Sunday Mornings

Our adult groups are committed to offering a chance to develop community, grow spiritually, and faithfully apply the teachings of the Bible to everyday life in a multi-generational setting. We aim to accomplish this goal through our Sunday morning discussion classes, taught by Pastor Larry and Pastor Kevin. Previous topics have been the study of the Christian life, the Life of Joshua, This is GBC, Fireproof, and 1 & 2 Timothy amongst others. This Fall we will be studying the Life of David at 9am in the sanctuary.

 

 

Women's Ministry

Women’s Ministry is an important facet of Grace Bible Church as it gives our women a chance to gather together for fellowship and concentrated study of God’s Word. The Women of Grace will meet on Monday nights to study the Beth Moore series “Esther.” Women’s ministry is coordinated by Cheryl Rupp.

 

 

 

Outreach Opportunities

GBC is committed to reaching out to the Gilbert / Ames / surrounding areas with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To this end, it is our aim to hold regular events which will better enable us to reach into the needs of a world that so desperately needs what the church is uniquely positioned to offer. The Outreach ministry is coordinated by Pastor Kevin, but is a unique ministry in that it is volunteer driven: ideas for events and opportunities come from within the congregation itself and are organized and empowered by faithful volunteers under direction of the Holy Spirit. It is our belief that the best ways to reach the world for Jesus Christ will come through the skills and desires that God has placed within our own people.
