Among many commands, Jesus said believers must "abide in My word" and "obey My commandments." This requires an attitude and effort of learning what God has revealed to us in His Word. GBC has weekly small group Bible studies with a teacher, curriculum, and homework. These groups meet throughout the week and we would love to get you plugged in to one.
Rather than grasping at random studies or gathering by haphazard age groups, GBC organizes studies to intentionally and progressively build Bible knowledge and understanding. We have 4 sessions each year. Our first one is a 5 to 6 week study that the whole church goes through together. The other 3 sessions are 11 weeks each that run September-July. Available studies for the upcoming year are published in the fall when sign-ups happen.
