World
Mission Offering - As an American Baptist Church, the World
Mission Offering we receive supports our missionaries throughout
the world. This is an annual offering taken during the
months of September or October. The World Mission Offering
leads people to faith and starting new churches, trains future
church leaders, promotes health in HIV/AIDS world, abolishes
human trafficking, creates economic opportunity and building
futures by opening the mind, empowering the heart, seeking peace
and offering refuge.
America
For Christ Offering - As an American
Baptist Church this offering is received annually in March. America for Christ gifts support
Christ-centered ministries that are transforming lives across
the United States and Puerto Rico – from addressing Children in
Poverty initiatives and resettling refugees violently driven
from their homelands to providing evangelism training,
developing discipleship resources and leading ministry workshops
and conferences.
One Great
Hour of Sharing - As an American Baptist Church this
offering is received annually in June or July. One Great Hour of
Sharing is an offering that makes the love of Christ real for
individuals and communities around the world who suffer the
effects of disaster, conflict, or severe economic hardship, and
for those who serve them through gifts of money and time.
GPBC's
Mitten Patch - This is our very own collection of warm
clothing, socks, gloves, hats, etc that our members contribute
and we donate these to Avondale East Elementary, our "Partner In
Education".
The
Topeka Rescue Mission - We are a supporter with cash
donations and other supplies as needed. During the summer
our Vacation Bible School program for kids ages 4-11 have a
"Penny War". This is where they bring pennies to donate
and the team with the most pennies wins a prize that night!
All pennies collected are split between the Rescue Mission and
Doorstep.
Doorstep
- We are a supporter with cash donations and other supplies as
needed. As a member congregation of Doorstep's governing
body we believe it is our duty to collect non-perishable food items through
out the entire year and provide volunteer help during the month
of February. There are also receptacles throughout the
church for placing empty aluminum cans. The proceeds for
recycling these goes to Doorstep as well. During the
summer our Vacation Bible School program for kids ages 4-11 have
a "Penny War". This is where they bring pennies to donate
and the team with the most pennies wins a prize that night!
All pennies collected are split between the Rescue Mission and
