A profile of Goodwood Baptist Church (GBC)

The GBC family compromises people from a variety of backgrounds. From the very outset, the focus of our services and ministry has been unashamedly God’s Word above all else. Public worship is conducted simply with a clear focus on preparing God’s people to hear God’s Word. We seek to implement ministries that present the gospel clearly to all age-groups. On Sunday mornings our children and young people meet with us and then move to what is known as COOL (Christ our Only Lord) Club and Teen Bible Class. We are grateful too for opportunities to reach non-Christian homes in the area through our youth work on a Friday (Crusaders and Khula!).

Currently there are six Home Fellowship Groups meeting on Wednesdays in Goodwood, Tygerdal, Monte Vista, Welgelegen, Bothasig and Blouberg/Tableview. For enquirers and those confused about the gospel, there is a Christianity Explored course that is followed by a course Back to Basics which has been used of the Lord to bring some to saving faith. At the time of writing we are greatly encouraged to see how the Lord has honoured the faithful sowing of His Word through a number of people currently attending Baptism and Membership Classes. These classes would include instruction on the Doctrinal Distinctives of a Reformed Baptist Church as well as privileges and responsibilities associated with belonging to the family of God.
