The 1,500 adults and children who worship at GCC share in this larger church community, which is comprised of one million members within 4,100 congregations in the US and Canada. The Disciples of Christ is a mainline protestant denomination, the oldest, in fact, that has its roots in America. We celebrate communion weekly, inviting all believers of Christ to the table. We emphasize lay leadership in worship, encouraging men, women and children to take their places beside ordained ministers. We stress the unity of all Christians, working to bring all together as the one body of Christ.
Worship is the focal point of our church life.
In worship, we celebrate God's love for us in Jesus. We honor and praise God as we bow in prayer and present our best in the offering. Each worship service centers around the Lord's Supper, in which we share in the bread and wine as a Christian family. These symbols of Christ's broken body and shed blood remind us that through the death and resurrection of Jesus we are saved. Our members, staff and ministers are a dynamic, growing community of Christians who share in many opportunities for worship, spiritual discovery, and participation through fellowship and service.
