About
A home church in Richmond, Texas.
The Gospel Community is a church of families and friends who meet in a home in Richmond, Texas. We exist to love God, love others, and make disciples.
Who we are
Families and friends, following Jesus together.
On Sunday mornings you’ll find us eating breakfast together, then gathered in the living room with our Bibles open. We ask questions, talk through the passage, and pray for one another. Families with kids are part of our church, and so are people who are still working through doubts and questions.
We keep Sundays simple: a meal, the Scriptures, teaching and discussion, and people who keep showing up for each other during the week.
Who teaches
Jacey and Tori
Jacey Jetton and Tori Macfarlan teach together on Sunday mornings. Both are lay pastors who work regular jobs during the week.
The foundation for our church
Jesus calls us to love God with all our heart and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:37–40). He also sends us to make disciples, teaching others to follow him (Matthew 28:18–20). Together these shape what we do when we gather and how we live through the week.
01
Love God
We worship Jesus, pray together, study Scripture, and seek to obey him in the ordinary moments of life.
02
Love others
We open our homes and lives, share meals, carry burdens, pray for each other, and care for practical needs.
03
Make disciples
We help each other follow Jesus, grow through teaching and honest questions, and invite others into that same life.
Love others in practice
Showing up for our neighbors.
We ran a charity 5K together. Loving others includes giving our time to our neighbors outside of Sunday morning.
