Team Ministries
Team Ministries exist in order to accomplish what GMBC has established as its vision. Through team ministry the members and attendees of GMBC “do” ministry. Believing that every believer has been given a spiritual gift, it is the goal of the leadership that 100% of the believers that attend would be actively serving in some capacity.
The following teams have been established to help meet the needs of the church and our community. To get involved with one of these teams or find out more information, please contact the team leader.
Finance Team
Team Leader: Jodi Kaiser
The Finance Team is responsible for keeping an eye on the financial status of the church and its investments. They oversee financial stewardship of both giving and expenses while adhering to a church-approved budget.
Mission Team
Team Leader: Barb Davis
The Mission Team is responsible for the mission outreach of GMBC and for recommending the support of new mission fields around the world. Nine missionaries are now supported on a regular basis by GMBC. It is their responsibility to assure that our missionaries align with our statement of faith and passionately proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the unsaved. Through two-way correspondence with our missionaries, information about their work and the work of GMBC is shared.
Care Team
