FAQs
That's Frequently Asked Questions to you, Pal. . .
1. Why do you do what you do?
YOU are why we do what we do.
2. What is this whole thing all about?
Loving Jesus, and Loving Like Jesus.
3. Does it matter what I wear to church?
Nope. We have coats, ties, t-shirts, shorts, flip flops, and everything in between. A bikini might be pushing it, but chances are, if you feel comfortable, then it's fine by us! Don't feel like you have to get "dressed up." Think comfortable.
4. How do I stop dating the church and become a member?
Contacting Kathy Norberg here at the church is a great start. She'll steer you right. knorberg@gbumc.org
5. Are churches in it for just getting money from people?
While we're sure there are some churches out there all about the Benjamins, understand that we're interested in YOU. If you're visiting, leave your wallets at home. The giving of tithes and offerings is not meant to be a pressure moment or designed to make you uncomfortable in any way. It's simply an opportunity for our members (and long-time guests) to give back to the church community. Tithing is a biblical system of giving ten percent of your earnings back to God through the local church. Offerings refers to amounts given over and above the tithe. The early Acts 2 church members all pooled EVERYTHING together, and the church leaders dispersed back according to need. So, the 10% tithe is actually a 90% savings. (Sorry now that you asked about money?)
6. Do you really believe all this stuff about God? It seems so unbelievable...
We really do believe. We believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to redeem our sins, to restore a right relationship with God the Father. Through the Holy Spirit, we feel Him moving and directing us in the life of this church. If you've never experienced the moving of the Spirit, it is a beautiful thing. We'd love to talk further with you about this. Contact us here at the church to set up a meeting.
7. I need assistance from your church. How do I request this?
We are called to Love Jesus, and to Love Like Jesus. We do try to help those truly in need. Please contact the church office for more information 850- 932-3594.
8. How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?
As much wood as a wood chuck would chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.
