Ministries
Children
We are thankful for all the children God has given us the privilege of nurturing in knowledge and love for the Lord. Throughout all of our Children's Ministries at GBC, we strive to point our kids to Jesus Christ as their all-sufficient Savior.

Nursery
We have two Nurseries available. Our little ones from birth to 18 months go to our Infant Nursery. Children from 18 months through the age of 3 are welcome in our Toddler Nursery. Nursery care is available during:

  • 8:30 AM - Prayer service
  • 9:00 AM - Sunday School
  • 10:00 AM - Worship service
All workers are screened through the State of Iowa using the standard background checks. Both nurseries are carefully cleaned each week by our Nursery Coordinator.

Discipleship Classes
We offer classes for children from age 3 through 5th grade, meeting every Sunday morning from 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM. The classes are divided into three age levels:

  • Kids ages 3-5 (including Kindergarten)
  • First and Second grades
  • Third through Fifth grades

We currently use curriculum from Desiring God Ministries. For more information on our current curriculum please see www.childrendesiringgod.org/curriculum/.

Children’s Church
During the Sunday morning worship service children ages 3-11 are released right before the sermon for Children’s Church. We have two classes:

  • Ages 3 – 5 meet together for activities such as creative play, crafts, snacks and games. Often these lessons run current with the lesson the children had in their Discipeship Class.
  • Grades 1 – 5 meet together and study various Bible stories from the Old and New Testament.

J.A.M Kids
Our Jesus and Me Kids group is for children ages 4 through 5th grade.  We meet on Wednesday nights during the school year from 6:00 - 7:00 PM.   Our purpose is to build kids up in God’s Word through Bible study, prayer, singing, crafts, and games.  We also have various fun activities such as a stock car rally and visits to Friendship Village.

Youth
We provide opportunities for youth in Jr. & Sr. High school to get together to study the Bible, pray, and have some fun in the process.

Wednesday night gatherings
During the school year the youth meet every Wednesday evening from 6:00 - 7:00 PM at GBC for Bible study and fellowship. 

Discipleship Classes
Every Sunday we spend 9:00 – 9:45 AM together to spend time in prayer and engage in an in-depth study of Scripture.

Monthly Fun Fests!
Once a month we have an outing together as a way to laugh together, invite friends, and just have fun!
Adult
There are a number of ministry opportunities at GBC for adults of all ages:

Small groups
We gather together in people’s homes each week to study God’s Word, pray for each other, and enjoy the fellowship we share in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Discipleship Classes
We currently offer four different Discipleship Classes for adults on Sundays from 9:00 – 9:45 AM:

  • Ambassadors - A study of the book, “The Coming Economic Armageddon” by David Jeremiah.
  • Body Builders - A modular class currently studying Systematic Theology.  You must sign-up for this class in advance in order to attend.
  • Learning Through Leading - Learn how to better study God’s Word by taking a turn in preparing a lesson and leading the class.
  • Scripture Discovery – This class covers various Scripture passages with an eye for everyday life application.

Recharge
We believe that prayer is a foundational element to the health of our church.  As a result, we gather together at GBC on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:00 PM for our Recharge Prayer Meeting to praise God for His wonderful grace, intercede for the lost, and ask God to meet the needs of our church family.
