About
Who We Are
We are a church located in Shingle Springs, California.
The glory of God is the supreme and central focus of what we are about here as we strive to exalt our Sovereign Lord and His sufficient Word for the joy of all peoples. We seek to treasure Christ and welcome others as He has welcomed us for God’s glory (Romans 15:7).
As a church body we are “devoted to teaching and fellowship” (Acts 2:42a), wanting to be a place of prayer and care (v. 42b-47), truth and love (Ephesians 4:15). We are a reforming and transforming congregation, we trust, conforming more to the image of Christ, for the good of our families, and the nations.
Pastor Phil Layton is a graduate of The Master's Seminary (www.tms.edu) in 2006, at which point he began serving as the full-time Pastor-Teacher of GCBC. Previously he served for 9 years as a lay-leader and shepherd at Grace Community Church (www.gracechurch.org) under the preaching ministry of John MacArthur (www.gty.org) and elder oversight of Phil Johnson (www.spurgeon.org). Pastor Phil Layton is committed to expository preaching, the sufficiency of Scripture for ministry and all of life, the doctrines of grace, spreading a passion for a high view of God and His Word, and pursuing a ministry that is Scripture-saturated, Christ-centered, God-glorifying, and Spirit-sensitive.
