Vulnerable Person and Child Safety at GBC
At GBC we take vulnerable person and child safety very seriously, which is why we have spent so much time developing our procedures and policies. Our Community Protection Plan requires all of our vulnerable person volunteers to complete our official training and certification. This certification includes seminars in which each volunteer actively participates along annual refresher courses, an up-to-date vulnerable sector police check, interview and references. We seek to provide high accountability and care in these areas in order to best protect the vulnerable. To request a copy of our Grace Bible Church child and vulnerable persons protection policy you can contact us.
YOUNG ADULTS

GBC youth exists to see teens transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that, through this ministry, those who are not believers would experience salvation and those who are would grow in their faith. Our ministry is focused on three essential aspects 1) Gospel Centred Impactful Teaching 2) Cultivating Meaningful Relationships through Discipleship 3) Serving Others and Outreach. Students who attend GBC youth can expect to enjoy: hearing from God's Word, playing exciting games, serving the community, and participating in event nights.
