Grace Bible Fellowship (GBF) exists to glorify God by fulfilling His Son’s commission to make disciples of in all nations (Matt 28:19-20). Its name derives from Acts 20:32 where the apostle Paul spoke of the church in Ephesus:
“And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
—Acts 20:32
Our Distinctives
God’s grace and His Word builds a strong church. GBF stands distinct from clubs, groups, and organizations in that it upholds principles clearly taught in the Scriptures. Our desire is to present everyone fully mature in Christ, fruitful in life, for the glory of God (Colossians 1:28, Ephesians 4:15-16 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
These principles include the following:
GBF stands upon the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ
GBF faithfully practices expository preaching of the Scriptures
GBF upholds the sufficiency of Scripture in counseling people
GBF places priority on the family
GBF encourages parents to be actively involved in raising their children

GBF is also focused on Life on Life Discipleship, which consolidates many of our distinctives stated.
