Hit the RESET Button
What an awesome week we had at camp! God was truly felt there, and I know that our group grew in spirit and truth. We had so much fun, but man am I exhausted. There are times as Christians we get burnt out and we need to recharge. When we feel that way physically, we rest. Well, it’s hard for us sometimes to “rest” in our spiritual walk. When we feel overwhelmed by life’s daily grind, we need to take time to recharge. Just taking ten or fifteen minutes alone with God in praye

Time for GCBC
Today we will leave for camp! Camp is a wonderful time and often it presents so many opportunities to grow closer to each other and to God. Oftentimes, when we attend an event like this, we feel like we are on top of the mountain and can take on Satan all by ourselves. However, when we get back, we often experience a drop in our enthusiasm. That is why it is so important for us as Christians to encourage each other. Events like camp are so uplifting but as God’s church we sho

Senior Sunday 2024
Today is Senior Sunday. We are so proud of our five seniors, Gisela, Haley, Hayleigh, Stevie, and Roshad! We pray for their success in their future endeavors but more importantly we pray that they will continue to grow in their faith. As we all enter different chapters in our lives, we have choices to make. Everyday we must make choices. We choose what we will eat for breakfast, what we will wear, or what we will do that day. Joshua, in Joshua 24 offers a challenge to the Isr

Mother's Day 2024
Today is Mother’s Day so I would like to say “Happy Mother's Day” to all the mothers! We are so blessed with so many great examples of motherhood in this congregation. The ladies here at Summerdale, are such great role models for our young women and girls in this congregation. When I think of the examples in the Bible of Godly Mothers, the first one that comes to mind is Moses’s mother. Although we do not know her name, we know that she trusted the Lord and hid Moses so he wo

Let My People Go
Wednesday, in the teen class, we started a series looking at the ten plagues of Egypt found in Exodus. As the story goes, God told Moses to go before Pharaoh and tell him “Let My people go!”. Every time Pharaoh would agree at first but then harden his heart and make the people stay in Egypt. Each time God would bring another plague until finally following the death of the first-born Pharaoh finally relented and let the children of Israel go. But even after that he changed his

Answer the Call of God
Last Sunday night, in the teen class we launched our theme for the rest of the year. In 1st Timothy 4:12 Paul tells us “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity”. This morning, we continued our series “Young People of Faith” by looking at Jeremiah and how at first, he questioned God when he was called because of his youth but God told him exactly what Paul was teaching Timothy. Jeremiah went on

Young People of Faith
Last Sunday morning, in our Teen class, we started a series called “Young People of Faith”. This morning, we talked about Joseph and how through his faith he endured many hardships throughout his life. Whether it was living with his brothers who hated him for his wild dreams, being thrown into a pit and later sold into slavery or sent to prison on a false accusation, Joseph never strayed from God and trusted Him to take care of him. Joseph always stayed true to God and even w

Let's Get Started
Good morning Church family! Let me start off by saying how blessed and humbled Andrea and I are that you have chosen us to serve this congregation as your Youth and Family Minister.

I wanted to just take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a little more about me. I grew up in Mobile, Al and have been a member of the Lord’s churc
