Core Values
Explore our church’s core values and see how they shape our faith, guide our mission, and unite us in Christ.
At FBC Gonzales, we are a place where the old becomes new. Spiritually, this means that we are people who share the wonderful story of how God has saved us through the work of Jesus. When we put our trust in Jesus, we die to the old self and become a new creation.
As a church, "the old becomes new" is somewhat of a proverb for us. We are a 177-year-old church seeking to tell a 2,000-year-old story in a way that reaches people today. We strive to share this timeless story in a way that resonates with new believers.
Individually, we seek to be new creations by living out these core values:
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation;
the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
In addition to our overall vision, FBC Gonzales seeks to be a community that makes disciples. As such we identify different stages of connection and encourage members of the church move along these stages. Our ultimate goal is for every church member to commit one hour to worship, one hour to Bible study, and one hour to service, totaling three hours of commitment to the church each week.
