OUR STORY
WHO WE ARE
Our mission at FBCGC is that our church family "know the story to tell the story."
ROOTED IN LOVE & FOUNDED IN FAITH
You are welcome here! First Baptist Gate City is a place where you can belong. We are a multi-generational church with contemporary and traditional expressions of worship.
Come and see and be a part of our vibrant church community. We are located at 307 East Jackson Street, Gate City, Virginia.
OUR VISION - LOVE. GROW. REACH.
We aim "to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength" - And to "love our neighbor as ourself."
Often church families compromise their influence in the community because they don't love each other fully. We need to be aware that our testimony is hindered greatly when we don't walk in love for one another. So we purpose to grow in our love for God and for each other. After all, we are God's gift to one another.
We also aim to grow in the knowledge of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, as we become more and more drawn to His Word.
The world doesn't need another "opinion," rather the world needs to know the truth. We believe that God's Word is a gift, revealing the Triune God, as His children learn His ways, and walk in truth. After all, it is "the trust that sets us free." We will consistently evaluate everything we do as to whether or not it is instrumental in reaching the lost, or equipping the saved.
We also aim to "reach out." Like the first century apostles, arrested for sharing Jesus, we desire to become so captivated by the Son of God that "we can't but share what we have seen and heard."
Our church will always seek to find ways to "be the church" in the community and beyond. We will do this corporately through avenues such as Upward, Night to Shine, and ongoing benevolent ministry through our Crossroads Community Center. We will also, as disciples of Christ, pray for and embrace opportunities to individually share Jesus in the workplace, the marketplace, and wherever our day to day lives take us.
