THANK YOU

The Entire Roberson Family would like to take the time to thank Pastor Mark C. Thomas and the entire Greater New Guide family for all of your Godly support during our loss. Your genuine concern and caring was present at all times. We thank you and honor the Greater New Guide Family for a job well done! May the spirit of Ms. Lenora Roberson lives on at the Greater New Guide Baptist Church!

UNIFORM & TENNIS SHOE DRIVE ANNOUNCEMENT

Greater New Guide Baptist Church is excited to announce our School Uniform & Tennis Shoe Drive!

Our Children, Youth, Young Adult, and Scholarship Ministries are partnering with the Clothes Closet Ministry to help students in our community start the new school year with confidence.

We are asking our church family to donate new or gently used school uniforms and tennis shoes for students from Pre-K through College. Your donations will directly support our Level Up: Mind, Body & Spirit Back-to-School Summit on Saturday, August 8, 2026.

Donation bins are conveniently located by the Church Office, by the Kitchen on the Main Campus, and in the Family Life Center.

Together, we can make a difference, one student, one family, and one school year at a time. Thank you in advance for your generosity and continued support of our youth and our community!
