At Gayton, our faith in Jesus Christ shapes who we are, how we live, and how we serve others. These core values guide us as we seek to grow in faith, love our neighbors, and follow Christ together.
At Gayton, we aim to be:
We were created to please God. We want to bring honor and praise to God and bear witness to His Son, Jesus Christ. This means that God is first in everything from our public worship to our commitments as individuals to honor God in all that we do and say.
The teaching of God’s word permeates the life of Gayton. The Bible is God’s Word and must be applied in what we believe and how we behave toward God and others.
We are a church that captures your heart, challenges your thinking, and celebrates your gifts just like Jesus did with His disciples. We commit to engaging each person and helping them take “next steps" on their spiritual journey.
We share the love of Christ with our community and our world. In faith we believe that God wants to bless us so that we can be a blessing to others. We commit to serving others sacrificially. We are intentional and joyful about empowering and equipping Christ-followers for ministry in our community and world.
Community refers to both our community of faith and the area in which God has placed us.
As a Baptist church, we and affirm the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message, as a summary of our beliefs and biblical convictions.
