GBC is a warm multicultural fellowship of Christians who meet in Anaheim, CA.
We meet for worship, teaching and fellowship on Saturday mornings at 10:00 am. Lunch follows at 11:00 am. Our worship service is contemporary, and we encourage casual dress.
Our Bible teaching is designed to present Biblical truth in a simple and understandable manner, and to show how it applies to our lives. It will be wonderful to meet you. Please feel welcome to visit.

Pastor
Pastor David Lee
Pastor David was born in Quito, Ecuador and came to SoCal when he was 16 years old. Although he attended church his whole life, it wasn't until his college years that he was saved and accepted Jesus Christ as His Savior and LORD. He received a M.Div from Talbot School of Theology and has been a pastor since 2005.
He loves the local church. He is passionate about non-believers meeting Christ, about awakening Christians to fulfill their God-given callings here on earth, and about adding value to others. He loves to laugh and enjoys meeting people, sports, and eating out. He is married to his beautiful wife Jeanne and is the proud father of Isabella, Noah, and Sofia.

What we Believe
We believe that the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the necessary and complete revelation of His will for salvation, and is the ultimate authority for Christian faith and life.
We believe in the one true and living God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe the triune God is the Creator, the Sustainer and Ruler of all Creation, but is prior to, and distinct from the Creation.
We believe that the first man, Adam, was created by God in His image, but fell from his original state by sinning against God, and hence incurred upon himself and all his posterity the guilt of sin, condemnation, and death; therefore, all humans are in need of salvation, but are totally incapable of saving themselves.
We believe that after the Fall, God, in His mercy and love, made provision for human redemption through the establishment of the covenant of grace with His people by the promise and the actual giving of the Savior Jesus Christ, whom to believe is justification and life.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten by the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary; that He lived a sinless life and obedient life, suffered and died on the cross vicariously for the sins of those who believe in Him; that God raised Him from the dead, and exalted Him both as Lord and Christ.
We believe that humans are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone in response to the Gospel preached, or otherwise presented, in the power of the Holy Spirit, through whom ransomed sinners become the sons and daughters of God and heirs of eternal life. That Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and men through Him and only through Him the believer has access to the Father.
We believe that every believer is a new creation in Christ, and is called to walk in the Spirit, to die unto sin, and to live unto righteousness, and thereby manifest the fruit of the Spirit, conforming oneself to the image of Christ; that good works are the fruit of the Christian life, and are not ways of justification.
We believe that God alone is the Lord of our conscience, and that the believers are free from the commands of men, which are contrary to, or in addition to, the Scriptures in matters of faith and conduct.
We believe that the church, consisting of all true believers, being Christ’s own and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, is the Body of Christ, the invisible church; that the church is holy, universal, and one in Christ; that the invisible church manifests itself in the visible church, the local congregations consisting of all who profess to believe in Christ and are baptized; that as the people of God and a kingdom of priests, the church is called to grow unto the stature of the fullness of Christ and to fulfill her missionary work through the exercise of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, in worship, ordinances, fellowship, discipline, and services.
We believe in the priesthood of all believers, and the parity of the ministers and the laity.
We believe that in the last day, as the consummation of redemption, Christ will come again personally and visibly to the earth to judge the living and the dead; that there will be a bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believers through the Holy Spirit unto the inheritance of eternal life, and the unbelievers unto condemnation; and that a new heaven and a new earth will be ushered in.
