Welcome to GBFC!
The symbol of the umbrella represents all the different storms of life. The storms could be storms of peer pressure; storms of losing a loved one; or the pressure to commit an act just to feel a sense of belonging. The umbrella represents your safety and to let you know you should never feel alone. Even when the sun is out and everything seems fine, a storm is always gathering resources to bring cloudiness to your day. We represent the umbrella that will always be here for you; your safe haven, your shelter in the storm.
Our Mission
Mom had a close walk with God; she was committed to prayer and reading God's Word. Mom never surrendered to situations she could not control. When the dark times approached, Mom prayed. When things got rough, Mom prayed. When there seemed to be a little light shining at the end of the tunnel, Mom prayed. She knew that if God brought her to it, He would bring her through it. She stood on His word; His Goodness and Mercy followed her all the days of her life.
She never lost faith in God; she knew God protected her. Mom often talked about her reoccurring dream, of a terrible storm that had such great strength and power; she barely made it to safety; escaping its destruction and devastation.
Just as she was feeling the sigh of relief, a heavenly voice said unto to her, "Go back for the children." For years I always thought this phrase meant Mom going back for "her" children, and I was resolved to believe this. Until Mom passed away in 1994, I hadn't reflected on the memories of her dreams for years. But one night as I was meditating and praying, I heard a voice say, "Go back for the children." At that moment it hit me, this command wasn’t just for Mom's children, but all of the children of God.
DAILY DEVOTION
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
