Stewardship & Finance

We’ve Changed Our Online Giving Provider!

GBPC is in the process of transitioning from the Vanco online giving platform to a new system

called Servant Keeper. Any recurring donations set up in Vanco will need to be cancelled, and

new replacement donations created in Servant Keeper. All online donations from now on

should be made in Servant Keeper. You may access the new system by clicking ONLINE GIVING at the top of gbpres.org and then selecting the “New Online Giving Platform (Servant Keeper)” link, or by clicking the Give Now link below. You will need to set up your new account the first time you use it, but after that, you will be able to see all your donations and even print your own statements.

Unfortunately, the new system does not support text to give, so that will no longer be an

option. Servant Keeper will give us more efficient online offering at a lower cost to the church.

Please cancel your Vanco recurring contributions, if any, by July 15. If you have any questions,

contact Bob Jennings at bob-jennings@gbpres.org

For step-by-step instructions on how to set up your new Servant Keeper account:

VBS

VBS

The Giving Garden Ministry, which grows and donates fresh vegetables through the Chesapeake Master Gardeners' "Plant A Row" program, is looking for volunteers to help plant, care for, and harvest vegetables. Last year, the garden donated approximately 800 lbs. of produce to the House of Blessings Food Pantry through the program. If you are interested, please contact Mike Boron at mboron@cox.net.

We are also looking for about 10 new or used tomato cages about 36" tall.

Service & Mission

Second Mile Fund

What is the Second Mile Fund?

The Second Mile Fund was established as a way for our pastor to privately assist individuals when special needs arise. Thanks to the support provided, we have been able to offer financial aid to individuals in crisis situations. Check out information on fund raisers below or use the link to donate directly to the Second Mile Fund.

Congregational Care

DEACON MINISTRY Deacons are responsible for providing pastoral care and support to the members of the church. This may involve visiting the sick, elderly, or homebound members, offering prayers, providing comfort, and meeting practical needs within the congregation. All members and non-members of the congregation, not in small group, should have a deacon assigned. If you don't have a deacon, have not been contacted by a deacon, and are not in a small group, please contact the church office.

In Need of Prayer?
