Membership
Membership is a partnership. If and when you feel ready, come join us at the next membership class and learn what it means to partner with us in the mission of Grace Bible Church. Classes are held in the fall, winter, and spring and usually last an hour.
What is the membership process?
1) Attend church. Get to know us. Let us get to know you.
2) Attend a membership class. Classes are held in the fall, winter, and spring usually on a Sunday afternoon. We’ll discuss what we believe at Grace Bible Church (including our Statement of Faith), our church structure, bylaws, and leadership, and what it means to be a member of Grace Bible Church. We cover next steps and answer questions as well.
3) Complete and submit your membership application. The application is a single page with a few basic questions about your personal faith.
4) Meet with one of our elders. Getting to know our leadership allows us to care for you personally and gives us space to answer any questions you might have. After your meeting, our Board of Elders will vote on your membership. Upon acceptance, we will send you a letter and include your name on the new member slide during the annual business meeting.
We are excited to have you here and look forward to continuing this mission of learning to live and love like Jesus together.

NEW ELDER
Ric Paul grew up in Southern California. He attended Church with his family as a kid but didn’t truly give his life to Christ until he was in his 30’s. Ric met Stephanie while he was working in Southern California and they have been married for 36 years now. They moved to the central coast in 2003 where they raised their three kids who are all adult age now.
He is a contractor who has worked all over the central coast. Ric is a boating enthusiast and loves snow skiing, being on the lake with his family and friends. Ric is excited to serve in the role of elder because he has a heart for those who don't know Jesus yet and desires GBC to be a place growing in love for our neighbors and Christ.
