Jesus Christ is our hero.

His display of love on the cross is what compels us to move forward in all we do. 

Since Christ came and entrusted his disciples with spreading the Good News, it has been tempting for people to add or take away from the Gospel. There are thousands of teachings that direct us to trust ourselves. We simply and whole-heartedly believe that because of God’s goodness, He sent his Son Jesus to live the perfect life that His Holiness demands.  Jesus took our place and bore the penalty of our sin on the cross so that all who put their faith in His completed work would be righteous and justified in God’s sight.

 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.    2 Timothy 1:9-10

We desire to be a safe place no matter where you are on your spiritual journey.  This is a place of belonging and we echo God’s invitation:  Come as you are. There is freedom to discover who God created you to be and the patience that “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it” Philippians 1:6.  GCC is a place where we can be honest, encounter Jesus, study the Word, and have freedom to wrestle with doubt. From Sunday morning worship to small groups, we approach faith in a patient, gentle, informative way and are committed to Jesus’ sincere example of sacrificial love. 

Proverbs 18:10 promises, “The Lord is like a strong tower… the righteous run in and are safe.”

God has a broad, rich, and deep perspective of what it means to be generous. More than how we spend money, a generous spirit reflects the heart of God.

We look to Jesus’ example of generosity.  We love how He simply spent time listening, praying, and giving to people from all walks of life.  His example is our inspiration. 

We desire to respond with our abilities, relationships, careers, and resources. We honor the freedom that Christ gives us to leverage all of this for Him. 

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.  2 Corinthians 9:11
