Glory Christian Fellowship International and Bridges CEDC: Bringing Hope and Redemption to the World
Glory Christian Fellowship International (GCFI) is a church located in Carson, California, that is dedicated to spreading the message of hope and redemption through Jesus Christ. Led by Pastor Alton and Judith D. Trimble, GCFI has been serving the community for over 30 years.
At GCFI, our vision is simple: we want to bring Christ's message of hope and redemption to a dying and hurting world. We believe that this can be achieved by Winning the Lost, Discipling the Found, and Sending the Discipled.
Winning the Lost
One of our primary goals at GCFI is to reach out to those who are lost or searching for meaning in their lives. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to hear about God's love for them, regardless of their background or circumstances.
To achieve this goal, we offer a variety of outreach programs designed to meet people where they are at. These include:
- Street evangelism: Our team goes out into local neighborhoods with tracts and Bibles in hand, sharing God's love with anyone who will listen.
- Prison ministry: We visit local prisons on a regular basis to share God's word with inmates who may feel forgotten or hopeless.
- Homeless outreach: We partner with local organizations to provide food, clothing, shelter referrals, prayer support and other resources for those experiencing homelessness.
Discipling the Found
Once someone has accepted Christ as their Savior at GCFI we want them grow deeper in their faith through discipleship training programs such as:
- Bible studies
- Small groups
- One-on-one mentoring
- Leadership development courses
We believe that discipleship is an essential part of every believer's journey towards spiritual maturity. By providing these opportunities for growth within our church community we aim help believers become more like Christ.
Sending the Discipled
At GCFI, we believe that every believer has a unique calling and purpose in life. We want to help our members discover their God-given gifts and talents so they can use them to make a difference in the world.
We encourage our members to get involved in local and global missions, as well as community service projects. Some of the ways we do this include:
- Short-term mission trips
- Disaster relief efforts
- Partnering with local organizations to serve those in need
By sending out our discipled members into the world, we hope to make a positive impact on society and bring glory to God's name.
Bridges CEDC: Empowering Communities Through Economic Development
In addition to its church ministry, GCFI also operates Bridges Community Economic Development Corporation (CEDC), which is dedicated to empowering communities through economic development initiatives.
Bridges CEDC offers a variety of programs designed to help individuals and families achieve financial stability and independence. These include:
- Financial literacy training
- Small business development support

- Affordable housing initiatives
Through these programs, Bridges CEDC aims not only improve individual lives but also strengthen entire communities by creating jobs, increasing access affordable housing options, promoting entrepreneurship opportunities for small businesses owners.
