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.

• The Lord's Prayer: Six petitions made to God
• Digging Deeper: Studying the Scripture being preached Sunday

Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  What was the reason that Paul "thanked God and took courage" in 28:15? How does this challenge/encourage you regarding the importance of gathering with other believers?
2.  How does the rapid spread of the gospel across the Mediterranean in such a short period of time excite you about your gospel witness today? How has the Lord uniquely positioned you to proclaim the gospel unto the ends of the earth?
3.  How has the Holy Spirit used this sermon series in Acts? Is there a specific theme or truth that impacted your life?
