Thank you for visiting our website! We are designing it with you in mind. We want to help you get to know us, and we understand that your first step was probably to check us out on the web. We understand the importance of being a part of a Christ exalting local church, so we are trying to provide all the information you need right here. Please be patient with us as we build this website and don’t hesitate to call if you have any further questions. We would be glad to speak to you about our church, tell you about the Lord, or simply pray with you.

We want you to know that GBC is brand-new church plant here in Gainesville. We rejoice in what the Lord will do through this new work and would love for you to join us. We do understand that church planting is difficult and is not for everyone, so if you cannot physically join us, we still want to get to know you and ask that you join us in prayer that Christ might be exalted in our community through this new church.

At this point, you might be asking, “Why are y’all starting a new church in Gainesville?” Well, that’s a great question! You see, we have a passion to systematically preach and teach the full counsel of God (Acts 20:27). There are other faithful churches in Gainesville to be sure, but we believe that this city needs more churches who are faithfully preaching and teaching the bible. We want to share a passion for the word of God through verse by verse expository preaching. Put simply, we want to study the bible to understand it as it was written, then explain it, and encourage one another to apply it in our lives.

Put another way, GBC exists to share the love of Christ through the word of truth with the people of Gainesville, and to support the spread of the Gospel to all peoples (Matt 28:19–20). We want to see the lost saved, and the saved grow into godliness. We believe that the local church is the pillar and support of the truth (1 Tim 3:15), therefore we believe that she is the foundation for these works.

We urge you to use this website to find out more about this exciting new work. On it you will find what we teach and believe. You will also find our sermon page, so you can have a better understanding of expository preaching. Also, check out our helpful links page where there are helpful links to other like-minded ministries.

Again, please do not hesitate to call us. We would love to tell you more about what God is doing in and through Grace Bible Church of Gainesville. See you around town!
