Our local community is very important to us at Gospel Baptist Church.  Therefore, we like to take every opportunity to touch our community with the love of Christ while fulfilling the Biblical role of a church in Lucan village.

The following are ways that we involve ourselves in our community

• Weekly visits
  
• Nursing home
• Seasonal programmes
• Holiday Bible Club
• Local events
• Recognition of community efforts

 

Weekly Visits

On Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings, members of Gospel Baptist Church try to make visits on people in the communities of Lucan and Adamstown.  The purpose of the visit is to make ourselves available to meet the spiritual needs of people in our community.  Our greatest desire to help people to have a personal relationship with the Lord God of Heaven who created them, loves them and died for them.  If there is any way we can serve you in this area, please feel free to contact us.

Nursing home

Gospel Baptist Church takes the opportunity to visit a nursing home or two at least once a year, at Christmas time.  We believe that Christmas is a season for giving as it marks the time when God gave His Son into this world to eventually die on a cruel cross.  By singing Christmas carols in nursing homes, we can give back to those who served their country for many years.

Seasonal Programmes

Christmas time is a wonderful time to remember the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ into this world.  During this season, Gospel Baptist Church usually has a Christmas play on one Sunday evening and a Christmas recital (where children play festive piano or violin pieces) on another evening.  During this time, we make a concerted effort to invite members of the community to come and remember with us the reason why a Saviour was born.

Holiday Bible Club

For many years, Gospel Baptist Church has hosted a Holiday Bible Club which is normally held at the Lucan Youth Centre in the village.  Children from all over the community are invited to a week of fun, games, Bible stories and other activities.  It is one of the highlights of the year for our children.

Local Events

Lucan has quite an active community and likes to celebrate events like St. Patrick’s Day with festivity.  As it is important for us to be active in our community, Gospel Baptist Church always makes the effort to be involved.  To warm the body and soul on a usually cold day, we have begun a tradition of providing free tea, coffee and biscuits to members of the community who make the effort to brave the cold that they may enjoy the local parade.  In keeping with the spirit of who the real St. Patrick was, we also pass out pamphlets.

Recognition of Community Efforts

Gospel Baptist Church believes the Scriptural admonition to render honour to whom honour is due (Romans 13:7).  Therefore, we occasionally seek to take the opportunity to honour members of the community whether they be civil servants or just people who sacrificially serve their village.
