Are children allowed in your services?

Children of all ages are welcome in our services.

What kind of preaching do you have?

Our preaching is "expositional." This means, first, that our pastor is primarily concerned with explaining what the Bible passage says - not thinking of things he can say about the Bible passage. Second, it means that our sermon series are usually based upon books of the Bible rather than topics. While our preaching is expositional, it is not snobby or academic! We are passionate not only about knowing truth but also loving it, applying it, and living in the reality of it.

Do you follow a particular theological system or confession?

You can find a detailed statement under the "beliefs" section of this site. We have deep respect for the men who have labored diligently to systematize biblical truth and state it in succinct confessions of faith (such as the Westminster Confession). Our church is not, however, a "confessional" church in that we don't follow one particular confession or one particular theological system. We want the Bible itself to be the ultimate determining factor in what we believe.

How long has this church been in existence?

GBC was planted in Menifee in the fall of 2003.

Why do you use conservative music?

Our worship is congregational, because God is honored when a church family sings together to Him. We keep the focus off of performers or a performance, so that the congregation can focus on singing to the Lord together. We also want our music to honor God and reflect His holiness. For this reason, we don't try to keep up with the changing styles that are currently popular in secular music. Our goal is to have vibrant, congregational singing that comes from the heart and focuses on God to honor Him.
