The services will have the same teaching done in slightly different ways. Feel free to join us at either service.Our Sunday School/Adventure Kids for all ages Sundays @ 9:45amOur GBF PM Service will have teaching for the kids during the service.During our Sunday worship at GBF we teach directly from a passage in the Bible and seek to apply it to our lives. We typically sing songs together as a part of our worship of God. If you prefer not to sing, or just want to listen please feel free to do so! We also collect an offering. Those who come regularly use this as an opportunity to thank God and to acknowledge Him as the source of everything. If you are a guest or new to the church, you are welcome to participate but dont feel obligated to give.At GBF we love kids and if you attend you will find lots of them! We enjoy the life they bring to our church family. We are pretty relaxed and dont sweat the small stuff. If you are wondering how to dress some people dress up and many wear jeans. Wear what you are comfortable with.
