Take Your Next Step
We offer a variety of ministries and programs designed to help you grow in your faith, explore new possibilities, and allow you to use your God-given uniqueness to bless others!
Love Like Jesus
Sometimes circumstances, experiences and conversations elicit the question, “What’s next?” I just started a new job--can I afford a new car? Our family is growing--do we need a bigger house? My friend seems angry--should I reach out? I’m struggling--what do I do now? Whatever the situation, there almost always is a next step. Perhaps recently you’ve asked yourself that same question in regards to wonderings about life, God, the church, etc. At GMC, we want to walk alongside you as you venture to take that next step. Please let us know how we can help!
What Is Salvation?
A relationship with Jesus will be the only thing that matters 100 years from now. This relationship is available to you by grace, through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). When you realize that you need Jesus, by believing in His work on the cross, his death in your place, and His resurrection; and confessing that to Him, you have the new life that Jesus intends for you to live (Romans 10:9, John 10, John 3:16).Through faith in Jesus Christ, one can be saved from the eternal consequences of sin and receive eternal life with God in heaven. It is the cornerstone of the Christian faith and is available to anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Salvation is as easy as believing in your heart that Jesus died for your sin and wants to live in your heart. If you'd like to be saved, pray the prayer below:
"Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that He rose from the dead on the third day. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and to come into my life as my Lord and Savior. I give my life to you, and I ask for your guidance and strength to live for you from this day forward. Thank you for your love and mercy. In Jesus' name, Amen"
Baptism
What Is Baptism?
As a disciple or follower of Jesus Christ, one is called to be baptized, as instructed in Matthew 28:19. Baptism is a profound symbol of your commitment to follow Jesus and learn from Him. Just as houses are built on a strong foundation, your faith grows as you apprentice under the teachings and life of Jesus. Take the next step in your spiritual journey and publicly declare your faith in the Resurrected King through baptism.
Sharing in baptism as a church body not only encourages all of us, no matter where we are in our faith journey, but it also deepens the level of commitment we extend to each other. However, we do understand there might be challenges like physical limitations or social anxiety that hinder this next step in obedience. If these types of challenges apply to you, we’d love to have a conversation and explore options that would work best for you.
Why We Give
Jesus gave Himself for us first. Our giving is a response to His love, an act of worship, and a way to take part in what God is doing through the church.
A gift can be seen, but the heart behind it cannot be measured by its size. Giving is one outward expression of what God is forming within us: trust, gratitude, and a willingness to live open-handed with what He has entrusted to us.
Every person’s circumstances are different, and each next step will look different. Take time to pray and consider what a faithful step in giving might be for you. Whether you are beginning, building a regular practice, or continuing to give, you are invited to grow in trust without pressure or comparison.
To dare to live generously is to place our faith in God’s faithfulness. We give not because we can see exactly how everything will work out, but because we trust the God who has already given Himself for us and promises to provide what we need. Giving becomes one way we respond to His faithfulness, taking a next step of trust and joining in His work through the church.
