COLLEGE/CAREER MINISTRY
Our College/Career Ministry exists with a mission to reach the world with the message of Jesus Christ, uniting Christians together, equipping them in their faith, and to challenge them to serve others while they lift up God with their own life. To help equip, we offer a weekly Bible Study Group on Sunday mornings, as well as, monthly events. In the early stages of this ministry, we seek ways to impact the lives of others around us. We welcome you to come and be a part of this new and exciting opportunity for those ages 18-29. This ministry is open to both local students and those away at various schools.

“CONNECTING”/ASSIMILATION
As new believers and regular attenders become a part of the Gate City family, several opportunities exist to help people connect to GCBC. Two 3-week classes, “Discovering Church Membership” and “The Next Step” take members through the first steps in the discipleship journey. Participants learn about the many ministries of the church, how to become a member of the church, and Gate City’s unique vision and ministry. Basic steps of learning spiritual disciplines, discovering one’s spiritual gifts, and completing a spiritual growth plan are also key components of these classes.

Joining a Sunday School class or an adult Bible study provides another chance to connect into the life of GCBC. Fellowship, care, and other “inreach” activities within these small groups contribute to the assimilating of new members.

Additionally, there are numerous ministry groups that allow new believers and new members to serve. By utilizing their God-given gifts, talents, and abilities, people further connect by serving in meaningful ministry experiences.

WOMEN’S MINISTRIES
The women of Gate City Baptist Church aspire to be obedient to the spiritual mandate of Titus 2:7, “In everything set them an example by doing what is good.” It is the desire of this ministry to teach, equip, and encourage women to find and accomplish the will of God for their lives. Our purpose is to minister to the needs of women from all ages and stages of life. Programs for this ministry include: Bible Study Groups, Prayer Groups, Holiday Hospitality Dinner, Annual Mother/Daughter, Friend Banquet, and Outreach Basket Ministry.

We have many exciting opportunities for women. We commit to challenge and inspire women in their spiritual walk. No matter what your “Season of Life”, you will be blessed by the sweet fellowship through Women’s Ministry.

MEN’S MINISTRIES
It is the desire of the Gate City Baptist Men’s Ministry to build and strengthen our relationship with God, with our families, with other men, with our church and with the world.

Current activities include trips to Promise Keepers Conferences, Golf Tournaments, Prayer Breakfasts, and Prayer Partners. Future plans include Men’s Ministry dinners with challenging Christian speakers as an outreach to the men of our community.
