How can I make a Greater Impact?

• First - Pray: Pray for God's provision and your opportunity to take part in our Greater Impact initiative. Prayer provides critical nourishment for our shared vision of loving God, loving our neighbors, and serving our community. We encourage you to seek God’s guidance during our campaign by asking in prayer, "God, what do You want to do through me?"

• Second - Give: Consider how generous God has been in your life and respond in proportion to your financial ability. Each gift, and each sacrifice is important to our efforts. Your commitment is a decision between you and God – it must come from your heart in response to God’s grace. We believe not in equal gifts but in equal sacrifice made by the giver. There is a role for everyone to play in this endeavor!

• Third - Support: Become an advocate for the Greater Baltimore Church and help spread the word by inviting others to participate in the great things God is doing in us, through us, and around us!

Your Decision to Give

The goal of Greater Impact is to raise $500,000 over the year. Through generous gifts outside of the normal Sunday offering to this initiative from members, families, and friends of GBC, we will be able to achieve this goal. Your gift, no matter the amount, is greatly needed and appreciated!

More Community Impact

The Greater Baltimore Church has members from Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, Harford County, and Carroll County. We also have strong campus ministries with students from many area colleges including, Morgan, Johns Hopkins, Towson, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Stevenson College, and Community College of Baltimore City. We are influencing the next generation with God’s Word. Our Sunday worship gatherings are filled with songs, prayers, Bible study, communion, food, and fellowship.

Our various ministries offer opportunities for Christian formation and growth at all stages of life. We encourage every member to join a community group to grow more like Jesus and to invite their neighbors to join them. Ultimately, our goal is to transform lives, neighborhoods, and our communities through loving others as Christ has loved us. Below are some of the GBC ministries and community activities:

The Greater Impact initiative is needed to ensure we raise the funds necessary to renovate and maintain our facility and continue to grow both in capacity and outreach. Whether you are new to GBC or have been here for years, we invite you to prayerfully consider how you can contribute your financial gifts to this important effort. Sacrificial giving is an expression of our faith and a way to put our faith into action! And we can never outgive God!
