About Us

Our Story

In 2001, Great Commission Bible Church (GCBC) was founded by Rev. Dean Decastro, Dr. Angelina Decastro, and other dedicated and faithful believers. In 2019, Rev. David Rong became the lead pastor of GCBC and started a new chapter in the church’s journey. As a church, we give God our B.E.S.T. [We Build up. We focus on the Essentials of the Gospel and Great Commission. We are Strong in God's Power. We live our God's Truth and love.] God desires His Church to be a place of transformational relationships.

Vision

A place of transformational relationships

Mission

To accomplish God’s vision for GCBC, we are focused on the following: Relational Discipleship; Missional Orientation; God’s Truth and Power; and Uplifting Church Environment

What We Believe

God

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.

The Bible

We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and all trusted in all that it promises.

The Church

We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit of the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish through the believer.

Christian Living

We believe that God’s justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed.

Response and Eternal Destiny

We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of His glorious grace. Amen.
