Here's how your morning will go.
No surprises. From the parking lot to the closing hymn, this is what a Sunday at Gospel Light looks like.
A big church with a small-church feel.
We're an old-fashioned, Bible-believing Independent Baptist church — and a friendly one. You'll be greeted, not singled out.
There's a place for your kids, too.
Dr. Justin Cooper
“I'm honored that you would consider visiting us here at Gospel Light! For the past couple of years, my wife Desarae, our son Lincoln and I have been blessed to call this church home — and we hope you will too.”

The things guests ask us most.
What should I expect?
A friendly, welcoming church where people care for one another. We're a large church with a small-church feel, with stirring worship and practical, Bible-centered preaching.
How long are the services?
About 60 to 70 minutes. That leaves time for worship and Bible preaching at a relaxed pace.
What should I wear?
There's no dress code. You'll see suits and dresses, and you'll see casual clothes. Come as you are; you're welcome either way.
Is there something for my kids?
Yes! Nursery is available, and our caring, dedicated leaders make it a safe, fun place for kids. Check in downstairs at Gospel Light Kids Check In. Junior Church meets Sundays at 11:00 am and teaches God's Word in a way kids can grasp. Master Clubs meets Wednesdays at 7:00 pm for Bible learning, Scripture memory and spiritual growth.
Where should I park?
Pull into Guest Parking, right outside the Main Lobby. The spaces are clearly marked, and Guest Services is just inside. See the campus map above, or download a copy.
Do you have something for teens?
Yes! Teens meet for Sunday School at 10:00 am and Power Hour on Wednesdays at 5:45 pm. There's a special teen service on the first Sunday of each month at 5:00 pm, plus Youth Choir on Wednesday nights and activities all year long.
What's the music like?
Energetic and Christ-honoring, with congregational singing, the choir, special singing groups and our orchestra on Sunday nights.
Can I get a ride to church?
Yes. Our Bus Ministry picks up families and brings them to church. To request a ride, email the church office at staff@glbcs.org or call 336-722-9700.
