The Outreach Ministry Team needs YOU!

GBPC’s Outreach Ministry Team is calling for volunteers to assist with brainstorming ideas and implementing plans for evangelism and outreach to the community to share the love of Christ.

We coordinate or assist with events such as GBPC’s Christmas parade presence, Trunk or Treat, VBS, and the upcoming Fall Kickoff, among many others.

We also provide giveaways at Christmas Eve (remember the hot chocolate?) and for Holy Week and Easter.
