Gospelway Baptist Church

What are services like?
At GospelWay you can come as you are. Seriously! We are casual around here. You will see jeans, shorts, dresses, and business casual attire. So, wear something comfortable and come on! Our welcoming environment also means that you don’t have to put up a front or pretend like you’ve got it all together. None of us have arrived; we are all struggling in various ways and are all in need of the same amount of grace from God. EXPOSITORY PREACHING Because all of Scripture is inspired, relevant, and authoritative, our normative style of preaching is systematic & expositional, meaning that the Bible will be taught, verse by verse so that the point of the text will be the point of the sermon. We will typically take weeks and months at a time exploring one book or section of scripture, and our sermons are planned no less than 6 months in advance. INTENTIONAL LITURGY Liturgy simply refers to the arrangement of worship in a worship gathering. Our desire is that people grow in faith as they rest in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe God manifests His grace to us through the ordinary means of preaching, fellowship, and ordinances. In our gatherings, we will always read scripture, sing to God, listen to a sermon, and be sent out to labor in our communities. CHRIST-CENTERED WORSHIP The primary focus of music at GospelWay is to make the gospel the focus of all our singing. The content of our songs is what is most important to us. Whenever you come to a GospelWay gathering you can expect to find people passionately singing to God and joyfully declaring the wonder of who Jesus is and what he has done to save sinners.

What is the community like?
Above all else, we at Gospelway are seeking to find rest in Christ. We believe that Jesus meant it, when He said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest", and we have made it our mission to take Him at His word. We believe that this is played out in three main ways: If we are going to understand the rest that we have in Christ, we must understand first of all what the gospel is, and what that means to us. The scripture tells us that God has reconciled His enemies to Himself through Jesus. This means me and you! ​ Our focus is to daily spread this good news to those around us, so that they may find peace (rest) with God as well. The gospel is not only what centers us, but it is as the center of everything that we do and are. ​ Continuing His words, Jesus said that His, "yoke is easy". We believe that He has, not only done the work to reconcile us to God, but His has accomplished our righteousness as well. This means that we never have to do "church stuff" to gain a better standing with our Father. This allows us to rest in our acceptance with God through Christ. Gospel means “good news”. When we say we are "gospel-driven" we mean that the central truth of our church is the good news of who Jesus is and what he’s done to save the world. ​ This is what drives everything that we do! We want everyone to know the rest that we have found in the gospel!

What if I'm not a Christian?
Not a problem. You're always welcome to come rest with us. Just as we have been accepted by God in Christ, you'll always be accepted at Gospelway.
