The full protection policy can be requested from the church office.

What is Lightbearers?

Let your light shine before others,

so that they may see your good works

and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

Our Mission:

To intentionally develop disciples of Christ through the teaching of the Bible and its truth so that they may become receive the light of Christ and be bearers of the Light to their communities.

Our Ministry:

Lightbearers is a ministry of Gashland Baptist Church that disciples kids into becoming “Children of Light” (1 Thess 5:5) who let their “light shine before others” (Matthew 5:16). We desire to see every student to become a disciple of Jesus with a strong foundation in the faith by the time they finish the 5th grade.

We accomplish this by a highly intentional training process that teaches kids the stories and truths of the Bible.

Little Lights and Fireflies, Ages 3 through 2nd grade, work their way through “The Biggest Story” which presents the overarching story of the Bible and how it points to Jesus.

Beacons, kids in 3rd through 5th grade, then work their way through the New City Catechism which presents big truths of the Bible in clear, memorable, questions and answers and while also learning and participating in God’s work around the world through missions.
