The members meet to discuss and decide the church's future actions and directions, it is important that church members attend in order to ensure everyone gets their say. This meeting will be available ion Zoom, but we encourage all members to attend in person if at all possible.

This meeting will hear updates on finance, deacon's responsibilities and on changes to the church. There will also be a vote to elect a treasurer.

As GHBC prepares for interregnum and starts its search for a new full time minister, we have to prepare a number of documents. These are to tell prospective ministers about the church, who we are, what we do, and about the type of person we are looking for.

The church will have a say in what these documents contain. This article references these documents as they exist at present. If you have any comments about any of them please get in touch, don't forget to include your contact details so we can contact you with any questions we may have about your comment.

One of our members has written a thought provoking booklet and a summary leaflet to help us think how we might develop church groups for those who are not used to coming into church, people who might find it all a bit daunting. Definitely worth a read.

Note these documents are formated for A5 paper, when printing on A4, take the chance to use less paper by selecting the 'Booklet' button when selecting your print options.
