SENDING
The apostle Paul explained the process of missions when he wrote: "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow." (1 Corinthians 3:6).

At GEBC we want to reach friends, family, neighbors and even other nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to see all people come to a faith relationship with Christ. It is for this reason that SENDING is a high priority at Glen Ellyn Bible Church. We want to participate in the task of a disciple to "make other disciples," even to the ends of the earth.

OUTREACH
The Christian faith has always called us to see needs and do something about them. GEBC has strategically chosen to take on the challenge to “make disciples” through a variety of evangelistic and compassion efforts. OUTREACH is a high priority at Glen Ellyn Bible Church. We empower our church body to develop relationships to demonstrate our faith, live our faith, and share our faith for a community with more need than may meet the eye.
