Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone.Mark 16:15 (KJV)And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.God Bless GBC!”

“I went to this church once but while I was there I felt so included. Everyone is so sweet and they are all great Christians. There is lots of singing, praying, and so much more. I truly wish that I could come to this church every Sunday”

“This is a fantastic church. They preach expositionally and equip their members well. You will not get the flashy lights and smoke here. You will get fed as a congregation from the bread of life.”

“We visited this church a few weeks back. It was ALIVE and PACKED with mostly worshippers under forty years old and probably fifty percent in their twenties. Hands were often raised and voices rang out with true appreciation for who God is and what He does. It was amazing and encouraging. My wife, Martha, had tears running down her face. What a blessed morning it was. We thoroughly enjoyed God's undeserved love and favor that day.We vowed that, when we are in the area, this would be our church, and we are back in town this weekend ready to attend and offer God our praise and thanks again.”

“We have had nothing but a positive experience at this church. We joined at the beginning of the year because we wanted a church where our family could grow spiritually and our children could learn and thrive in a relationship with God. We have found that plus more here. We were instantly welcomed to the church from day 1 and have made friends that look out for us and are never short on praying for us and helping us if we need it. This church has so many ways to be engaged way past Sunday morning. There are life groups, children’s ministry, they offer dinner once a month for people to come together and just relax and meet/greet one another, as well as men’s and women’s nights. The sermons are enjoyable, often times peppered with humor and a good belly laugh. Many Sundays I will find myself going back and rewatching all or a part of the sermon that really resonated with me. The music is incredible. We attend the modern service so the music is contemporary Christian music. The band is awesome and has the people out of their seats singing along in praise. They also offer a traditional service with hymns and a full choir. The communication/social media team is on top of things. The Facebook and website are always kept up to date and you are given tons of notice about upcoming events.

The real gem of this church is the children’s ministry. This program is one of the most impressive and well run programs I’ve ever been a part of. I can rest easy knowing that my daughters are safe, loved, and are learning about Christ at an age appropriate level while also having a blast doing so. My daughter begs to go to Treehouse Kids on both Sunday morning and Wednesday night. We felt so safe in this ministry that we actually moved our daughter to their preschool. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this community.”

“Me and my husband TJ were in a Facebook marketplace rental scam from this lady Miste Droog. We lost 4000 dollars in this place, she lied about her sister being homeless and needing our spot and was trying to repost the ad and put more people in the basement apt and even tried to scam my mom in law. We went to court bc she tried to just give us 2 weeks to leave, and she owes us money just wanted her property back. Anywho, we called the salvation army and Pam put us on the waiting list. Lisa Anderson was extremely helpful and friendly and immediately got us on the referral list for housing and got us working with Miriam's House. They helped us with our application fees, first month and security deposit and a percentage of our rent until we are stable. They offer breakfast and dinner, sometimes goodie bags. The family unit room was clean and furnished and comfy, we even had a bath tub. You leave at 8, and come back at 4:30 in the afternoon, except weekends it's early and come back at 12. Curfew of 8:30 at night. The security guards are understanding and welcoming. Extremely friendly staff that want nothing but to see you succeed and prosper and they give you the toolset to do so. We are very thankful for the salvation armys help.”
