At GCN, we believe the church is not just an event to attend or a building to inhabit. Instead, the church is God’s Mission in the world as we embody the good news of Jesus to our neighborhood. God longs for us to grow in our love for Jesus, for one another, and for our world.
One of the best ways to grow as a follower of Jesus is within community, where we can meet regularly, do life together, and serve. We'd love for you to join a LIFE GROUP, a FOCUS GROUP, a MINISTRY TEAM, or CONNECT in other ways.
