At GNBJM, The Hospitality Committee consists of men and women committed to the

ministry of HELPS. Helps simply means one who gives assistance. The committee is charged with meeting and greeting visitors and all who enter our doors with the love of Jesus Christ. The committee is also responsible for conducting outreach activities, sponsoring events that welcome new members, and promoting fellowship throughout the organization under the direction of the Pastor's Wife, First Lady Gaines.

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he or she has received to serve others faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms……..1 Peter 4:9-10

Foremost, our mission is to continually be equipped with the WORD of God to exemplify the gospel with grace.
