Gunpowder Baptist Church

The worship service begins at 10:15am each Sunday. You can expect the service to last approximately 75 minutes.
We also invite you to our Sunday school hour for all ages starting at 9:00am.

We focus on the person rather than the dress. You will fit in at GBC whether you are dressed up or prefer a more casual look. You will see a wide range of styles at our services.

As our guest, please do not feel obligated to give!  We have offering boxes in our Welcome Center for members to contribute to the needs of the church, as well as, missions work in our city, state, country and around the world. As our guest, please do not feel obligated to give!

Our worship music is a mixture of hymns and modern worship songs lead by our worship team. We focus on selecting songs that communicate the truths of the Bible and the greatness of our God.

We believe that the Bible is God’s truth. We seek to understand and apply God’s truth to our lives. Our Bible teaching is expositional with an emphasis on application. Our lead pastor is the primary Bible teacher, but we has several others share the teaching responsibility.

We believe the Bible is God’s message of hope and love for all people and the final authority for every area of our lives. We believe nothing is more relevant to people’s lives today than the Word of God.

During the worship service, visitors are never singled out or embarrassed.  However, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome from our church family.

We would love it if you would fill out a Connection Card so that we can serve and care for you effectively. We will never give away or sell your information, and we have no interest in pestering you.

Our children’s ministry offers several ways in which children can learn and be cared for during the service.

• We have several background-checked ladies who care for infants less one year old in  our nursery when needed.
• Right before the message, children ages 4 and under are dismissed for children’s church.
• We love children! Please know your children are more than welcome to stay with you for the whole service! 

The main entrance to the church is wheelchair-accessible.  We are working hard on making our facilities more accessible and comfortable for all of our guests.
