Welcome to GSBC!

We are a church family in Jackson, Michigan who loves Jesus.

We are committed to loving God, the church family, and the world.

Join us this weekend - you are welcome here!

637 W. Ganson St., Jackson, MI 49201

We understand that visiting a new church can be intimidating. We want you to feel comfortable and know that we care about you the minute you step inside our door.

  • Our worship service begins in the main sanctuary at 10:45 a.m. and lasts approximately an hour and fifteen minutes.
  • We don't have a "dress code" - some people dress up a little; some come in jeans. We care about you - not how dressed up you are.
  • Sunday evenings (during the school year):
    • Life groups for 6-12 adults 6:00-7:30 p.m.
    • Discipleship groups for 2-4 adults 6:00-7:30 p.m.
    • Pathway Kids' Club for 1st- 6th graders (whose parents are in life groups or discipleship groups) from 6:00-7:30 p.m. during the school year. Learn more about Pathway Kids' Club here.
    • Mime group for 3rd-highschool 7:30-8:00 p.m.
  • Immerse meets from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for middle and high school students - runs all year. Learn more about Immerse here.
  • A multi-generational group meets each Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom and in the church foyer. We have a time of sharing before praying together.
  • Several times throughout the year we have a "prayer walk" where we walk around the neighborhood or throughout our church building to pray for the people and things we see around us.

Our pastors most often preach from the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible, but many in our congregation bring different versions or use their Bible apps on their phones.

Jesus says in Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to me..." We love and celebrate each child and believe that every life is important. Your children are welcome to stay with you during the worship service, but childcare is available, and you may find that they would be more comfortable in the children's departments.

Our nursery and preschool/kindergarten classrooms are equipped with video cameras and require that children be checked in and out by an adult as a safety precaution. Both the nursery and preschool/kindergarten classrooms are located on the lower level on the east side of the building.

Children in 1st - 6th grades sit with their parents through the first half of the worship service and then are dismissed for Sunday school just before the message time. They spend time learning age-appropriate lessons from the Bible, playing games, and learning about missionaries.

The Bible is God's written word, and we believe it is an essential part of the life of a follower of Jesus. We have several small group Bible studies that meet weekly to help us grow in our understanding of his love and plan for our lives.

We have a relaxed atmosphere during our worship service where we sing in a blended style. Musicians and vocalists lead the congregation using both hymns and modern worship.

We believe the first step in getting to know God is talking to him in prayer. We pray throughout our services being led by the worship leaders, pastors, or deacons.
