Grace is central because it is by God’s grace that we’re even here. His grace allows us to see and display His glory. He has seen fit to redeem us by the blood of Jesus Christ and assemble his body of believers to exalt Him — the One whose death and resurrection gives us peace with God and the hope of heaven.

The “Bible” is primary at GBF because it is God’s special revelation of Himself to us. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and is the final authority for living the life God intends for us. We value expository proclamation and study of the entire word of God.

Grace and Bible define who we are, and Fellowship (or community) is the context in which we extend grace by loving one another in our day to day lives. We have a common partnership with the triune God and the mission for which we are entrusted. Together we grow in our understanding of the Bible, and we encourage one another to grow towards Christ likeness. Fellowship is the setting in which we equip one another to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ as disciples who disciple others.

Our Senior Pastor 

Wayne and Amy DeVrou

Born and raised in West Michigan, I split my childhood between home and “Up North”, which was a family homestead in Leelanau County, where we spent weekends, Summer, and deer seasons.  If my parents were to put into words some kind of motto, it would have been, “God, Country, Family and the Outdoors.” My parents passed down a love for the outdoor life experience. Dad owned a sporting goods store and we were its best customer. There are some people that adorn their walls with trophies; mine are adorned with pictures of family experiencing the wonders of God’s creation - pictures with my grandfather, father, and my own wife, children and friends.  A love for outdoor sport runs in our family blood and we make new memories year around at home near Lake Michigan in our Wisconsin woods. 

I have served the Lord in His church for over 35 years, in Michigan, South Dakota, Iowa and (Wisconsin since 2004). It has been my joy to introduce hundreds of people to the joy of the outdoors, which is a perfect medium to introduce people to their creator, and get to know him more. God’s word and God’s world mix well, and teach us a lot about who God is. While, I graduated from Reformed Bible College, in Grand Rapids Michigan, and Western Theological Seminary in Holland, I learned to tell a story at a campfire.

I enjoy doing seminars on various topics, such as: Getting a Grip on Your Anger, Marriage, Prayer, and Parenting and the spiritual disciplines. While I enjoy the opportunities, ministry has afforded me, my primary work and love is preaching God’s Word. I am married to Amy, have two sons, two daughters, and 6 grandchildren.
