Gayton: Who We Are & What We Believe

At Gayton Baptist Church, our mission is to be disciples who make disciples of all generations. We seek to place God at the center of all we do, grounding our lives in the teachings of Scripture and following the example of Jesus Christ. We are a welcoming community that captures your heart, challenges your thinking, and celebrates your gifts as we seek to share the light of Christ with our neighbors and the world.

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.
