Equip
Equip and Empower...
At Gate City Baptist Church, we strive to intentionally equip and empower our families to make disciples in the home, church, and world. Below you will find resources to help you do just that. If you are on the church campus, you can also visit our resource center in the Side Lobby, where many of these resources are printed and/or are available to pick up.

Make Disciples in the Home
“Listen, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. - Deut. 6:4-8
Want to read through the entire Bible in a manageable way? Then this reading plan is just for you. This plan will take you through the entire Bible in three years, with reading 5x a week.
It’s extremely hard, if not impossible, to lead another person to a place that you have not led yourself. Here you’ll find links to help you with your own private devotional time.
Here are links to family devotional resources that you can purchase, download, or view on the Bible App for free! Those in bold are also available for pickup at the Home Resource Center in the side lobby.
These Family Season tools are designed to inspire, equip, and assist you to become intentional about taking simple steps toward creating a God-honoring home. To access all the tools on Love and Marriage, Parenting, Special Situations and Family Intentionality click the link below:
The Faith Path strategy is designed to help you develop a clear plan to intentionally point your child toward Christ in an age-appropriate manner. We hope that you are naturally exposing your child to many of these faith practices from an early age. The Faith Path recommends focusing on particular practices or preparing for certain milestones at specific ages and stages.
Church

What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. - 2 Tim. 2:2
Our Sunday School classes provide an excellent opportunity for people to be part of a small group and develop a real sense of belonging. Our classes are age-graded, nursery through adults. To help you find the right class, we have greeters at the various entrances of the building who will be more than happy to direct you. To view a list of our current Sunday School classes, click the link below.
Our Discipleship Groups are made up of 3-4 people of the same gender. They gather together to develop meaningful relationships that help each other grow in their walk with the Lord through biblical study, prayer, and accountability. If you would like to be part of a Discipleship Group, let Pastor Jamie know by CLICKING HERE.
