Pastor Greg Funk
Congregational Meeting
Sunday, November 16, 4–5pm
A Congregational Meeting has been called by the Leadership Council, under the direction of Pastor Greg Funk. This meeting will also serve as our Annual Budget Meeting (to discuss and put to vote the proposed 2026 budget, etc.).
This congregational meeting is an informational gathering for all who are actively involved and interested in what God is doing at GBC. Various updates, needs, and proposals may be shared in addition to the items requiring a member vote.
All are welcome to attend, and your input is greatly appreciated. However, only current members in good standing will be permitted to cast an official ballot. Absentee ballots will be available from the church office and must be returned by Thursday, November 13, 2025, by 4:00 pm.
