Welcome to the Missions Ministry at Gospel Light Baptist Church, where our passion lies in fulfilling the Great Commission set forth by our Lord Jesus Christ. As the Missions Pastor, it is my joy to lead a community of believers who are dedicated to spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Our mission statement encapsulates the heart of our ministry:

"We gather together to glorify God, to grow in His likeness, to give from our abundance, and to go into the world, bringing His Kingdom on earth as in heaven."

At the core of everything we do is the desire to glorify God. Whether through our worship, our service, or our outreach efforts, we seek to magnify the name of Jesus in all that we do. As we gather together as a church family, we are committed to growing in His likeness, becoming more like Christ in our character and actions.

One of the ways we express our love for God is by giving from our abundance. We recognize that everything we have belongs to Him, and we joyfully give of our time, talents, and resources to further His Kingdom. Whether it's supporting missionaries around the world, partnering with local ministries, or engaging in community outreach, we are committed to being faithful stewards of all that God has entrusted to us.

But our mission doesn't stop there. We are called to go into the world, bringing His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. This involves both local and global outreach, as we seek to share the love of Christ with everyone we encounter. Whether it's through short-term mission trips, long-term missionary partnerships, or simply reaching out to our neighbors with acts of kindness and compassion, we are committed to being ambassadors for Christ wherever we go.

As the Missions Pastor, it is my privilege to walk alongside each member of our church family as we fulfill this mission together. I invite you to join us on this incredible journey of faith as we seek to make a difference in the world for the glory of God.
