About GPS

GPS [Grow, Pray, Study] was launched in February of 2010 as a daily devotional guide designed to add to the seasonal and sermon series emphasis for individuals participating in the life of the First United Methodist Church of Mansfield, Texas. GPS was launched with the simple goal of helping people take their weekend worship experience to a deeper love and grow in their love of God, love of neighbor and commitment to serve the world.

Today, GPS continues with the mission of, “providing resources for growing disciples.” Those resources include the following.

  • Our GPS daily devotion guide which includes five days of scripture readings and reflection questions
  • A weekly “GPS for Families” section which is designed to help parents share with their kids what they are learning in their daily readings.
  • Our GPS podcast which is recorded weekly and serves as a supplemental teaching for those using the guide for their daily devotional resource.
  • Our GPS blog which includes resources and other writings that fulfill our mission to help people grow in their faith.

In the future, we hope to include further online teachings and classes dedicated towards keeping people moving forward in their faith journey.

The GPS daily devotional guide is available in several different formats for your convenience.
