C.A.R.E. (Christians Actively Reaching Everyone)
What is C.A.R.E.? C.A.R.E. is a network of GSBC service groups that targets and addresses a wide variety of needs within the church and in the surrounding communities. C.A.R.E. helps coordinate various service activities and it functions as an "umbrella" under which GSBC inreach and outreach efforts come alive.
C.A.R.E. provides the GSBC family opportunities to serve, and it encourages members to live out their faith through actions of justice, peace, and humility. C.A.R.E. helps coordinate inreach and outreach activities such as providing meals and encouragement for the sick, shut-in, and disadvantaged; showing appreciation to volunteers and first responders; participating in community fundraisers and support projects; and much, much more!
C.A.R.E meetings are held twice per month and are a great way to learn about and volunteer for various service projects. Please see the church calendar for meeting dates and times. And please join us at our next meeting!
Opportunities to Serve
The following are just some of the opportunities we have at GSBC to serve and share the love of Christ with those around us.
Blessing Bags: Filling bags with snacks, toiletries, cards, gospel tracts, and other items to bless the homeless, shut-ins, missionaries, first responders, and others.
Caring Meals: Sharing the love of God by providing meals to families who have lost a loved one or who need assistance due to an accident, illness, or financial hardship.
Daily Bible Study and Prayer: Growing together while studying the Word of God verse by verse.
Disciple Makers: Learning then teaching, mentoring, and encouraging others through small groups and Bible fellowship classes. This results in preparing disciples to share the gospel and make disciples of others.
