Why another church in the Bible Belt?

When I got the vision that Baytown, TX was where God wanted me to go....I questioned it. Why there? This area has long been a stronghold for Christianity. Does it really need another church?

God answered it simply-"There are still lost people." Enough said.

The truth is, there are many good churches in Baytown. Lots of them. But there are still many, many people who aren't connecting with these existing churches....for whatever reason.

The upcoming generations (35 and under) are looking more than just a place to attend on Sunday. They want a place where they can make a difference. A place where they do things. They continue to hear- we believe this, we believe that. And they think- Great! But what are you doing about it? These generations are about action.

And that is exactly what we are going to do at GCF. We are planning HUGE. Because that way, God has to do it. We have to let Him be in control, because this is His church.

I see a church, a body of believers, who are on fire for God. And are passionate with seeing real life change happen. Seeing people find a relationship with Jesus. Finding real relationships with other believers. Where we reach into the community. Reach into the lives of the lost, the hurting, those with painful habit, the poor, the oppressed, the sick, the uneducated.

Those are the people Jesus spent time with. As He said in Matthew 9-"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick". And even many of us in the church are still sick. We need healing ourselves. We all have hurts, habits and hangups that we need to deal with. Because the hurt, that haven't dealt with their issue, often continue to hurt other people.

Our nation needs recovery. Our churches need a revolution. Christ coming over 2000 years ago revolutionized the world.

Be a revolution. GCF's moto. Come be a part of the revolution.
