Leadership

Together in ministry with God’s People at GVLC, we minister to people, here and abroad, sharing the love of God and proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Savior to those who do not know Him.  This is our mission and ministry so that all people might know His forgiving love and that they might  know that He has prepared a place for them with Him in heaven.

Cindy visits members of the GVLC community who are hospitalized or homebound. She also provides grief counseling, coordinates our adult Bible Studies and assimilation of our new members. Cindy coordinates our Encouragement and 3rd Pair of Hands ministries, and partners with Baja Missions for short-term missionaries and our Service Deacon to plan service volunteer opportunities.
