Serving at Gospel City

Serving at Gospel City

The church is one body with many members.

Each member has been graciously gifted by God with spiritual gifts for the building up of the body. Our aim is to help every person in our church use their gifts for this purpose.

We use this “Getting Connected” Model to help cast vision for how to serve, grow in our serving, and multiply leaders. We will always have an eye towards multiplication—in the hope that we can be preparing to raise up more leaders and send them to plant more churches.

So find a spot and jump in!
