GBC’s Adult Equipping Hour serves as another opportunity for our church to carry out the biblical calling to “equip the saints for the work of ministry” (Ephesians 4:12ff). Here at GBC, we realize that the work of ministry is not reserved for a select few, but is the calling of the entire Church body. Therefore, we take the equipping of the saints seriously and consider it of utmost importance in the life of the Church.
We would love for you to join us Sunday mornings from 9:45am-10:45am as we teach on various biblical topics in an effort to equip the body of Christ for the work of ministry.
“to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” – Ephesians 4:12
