"On thinking over the great years at Gardena Valley Baptist since 1950--the year we arrived--we must thank God for all who have come to know Jesus Christ through its witness, before and after World War II and the Japanese evacuation.

How thankful we are for the children growing up in our church, who become believers, and who now take their place as mature members serving Christ responsibly at GVBC.

For them, and for dedicated staff God has provided all the many years, we give thanks.

'To God be the glory! Great things He hath done' and will continue doing!"
