Worship @ GBC
Gladeville Baptist Church, like everything else in the universe, exists to glorify God. We believe that we were created to worship.
In his book, The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren writes:
It’s all for Him.
The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the glory of God.
It is the reason for everything that exists, including you.
God made it all for His glory.1
Worship is the first of the “greatest commandments.” GOD is at the absolute core of everything, and we are created to worship Him.
Passionate corporate worship is part of the DNA of GBC. It seems that God has built this “Body of Christ” to worship. Worship is the fuel for everything that happens here at GBC: evangelism, missions, discipleship… they are all fueled by worship; they are an overflow of our worship.
The first step of our process is called Come/Worship. This does not refer to showing up at a building and listening to music. It means we “Come” to God through Jesus Christ - desperately desiring a glimpse of Him, an encounter with Him. And we “Worship” - we respond to Who God is and all that He has done.
