E-Groups are biblical, relational environments that further our mission to Make Disciples who
EXALT the Lord, ENCOURAGE His people, and ENGAGE His world.
The desired outcome of our groups is to Multiply Mature Ministers. Serving in ministry is a responsibility of all believers. We want to equip and spur one another on in faith, unity, and service for God’s Kingdom.
As you prayerfully consider joining one or more small groups, please feel free to email with any questions or to find out what is available for each member of your family.
We want everyone connected in a Christ-centered community.
There are three types of E-Groups.
Exalt Groups
Exalt Groups focus on worship and prayer. These groups help to lead the church in worship and lift the praises and requests of the church to the Lord. Exalt Groups include worship and prayer teams.
Every person has been given gifts by the Lord. We have a desire to provide opportunities for you to use your gifts. Here are some ways you can get involved in the Worship Ministry here at GCC:
- Singing in the worship team
- Playing a musical instrument
- Sound
- Lights
- Slides and videos
- Live stream team

Engage Groups
Engage Groups may look like mission or service teams. These groups may be long-term or temporary in uniting for the purpose of engaging the world for Jesus as people sent to serve and share God’s loving truth. These groups may serve at GCC, in the community, or around the world. Engage Groups meet according to the needs they serve.
We have a warm, welcoming church and we want to be intentional about how we welcome guests and members alike. Everyone who attends Sunday morning services is here for a reason. Our desire is to make everyone feel welcome from the time they enter the parking lot until the moment they leave the campus. It takes committed members of our church family to welcome, greet, and connect guests and regulars to the family and mission of GCC.
