Announcements

GCC Spotify Channel 
Our church loves to sing the truths of Scripture!  Now you can hear the songs we sing on Sunday via our church Spotify channel.  Share it with friends and family!

Children’s Classes
We currently provide nursery care (0-24 months) and a  preschool class (2 years - kindergarten)  during the 10am worship gathering.  Ages 2 years - kindergarten will begin in the sanctuary and may be dismissed at the beginning of the sermon to go to their class.  (Your kids are welcome to stay with you if you'd prefer.) Every three Sundays we plan to have a Family Worship Sunday, where the preschool class will stay in the sanctuary with their parents. Children can be checked in at the KidsQuest kiosk in the lobby.  A Geist Children's Bulletin is available for children staying in the sanctuary designed to help them follow along and participate in various aspects of the corporate worship gathering.

Core Courses
Core Courses are at 9AM on Sundays.
  • Ecclesiastes: Our lives are short, but are they pointless?
  • Digging Deeper: Studying the Scripture being preached Sunday

Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  What are some examples of current teaching/ideals that are potentially undermining the truth of the gospel in churches today? What is the role of every person in the church to uphold the truth of the gospel and the doctrinal integrity of the church?
2.  How is God working to rebuild and restore His people who are "called by My name?" How does this encourage you in your Christian walk?
3.  How does the concern of the apostles to not "trouble" the Gentiles reflect their love for them as brothers in Christ? How should this influence the way we speak and interact with other Christians?
