Ministries & Programs

Overview

GCC has a variety of ministries and programs to enrich our members’ faith journeys, build community, and serve others. Together, these ministries and programs add vibrancy to our church and enable us to be a leading force for good.

We welcome congregational participation! Each ministry and program is supported by a leadership team of laypeople (non-ordained members of the congregation) with guidance and oversight from our ministers. If you would like to join a ministry or program – or just find out more – we invite you to reach out to the Church Moderator (head layperson) or one of the ministers.
