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
The first Sunday each month is Family Worship Sunday for children and parents to worship together in the sanctuary.  The remaining Sundays we provide a children's class  (2 years -- Kindergarten). Children can be checked in at the Geist Kids kiosk in the foyer.  A Geist Children's Bulletin is available for  children staying in the sanctuary to engage and participate in the corporate worship gathering.

Core Courses
Core Courses are at 9AM on Sundays.

Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  How does the pattern of the Lord visiting and redeeming His people throughout the Bible strengthen your faith? What particular Old Testament connection to Christ in Luke 1:68-79, mentioned in the sermon, stands out or encourages you?
2.  What is so significant about the “mercy” of God in Luke 1:72, 78 and what does it mean for us? Read Ephesians 2:4-6 and 1 Peter 1:3. How has God visited us with mercy through the work of Christ and what is its result in our lives?
3.  What is the purpose of God redeeming us from sin (see Luke 1:74-75)? How do the words of 1 Peter 2:12 motivate you to pursue holy living before a watching world?
