We are church that doesn’t just raise up disciples, but also releases them into their Kingdom assignments and destinies- for some that's released to go and for others, it's released to stay. Stepping into God’s mission is not just about what God does through us, it’s about what God does in us.

In this message, Pastor Chris explores this important part of GCC’s vision statement and how important it is for us to be released into everything God has for us.

In this message, Pastor Chris begins a new series, teaching through GCC's new vision statement: Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom. 

We begin by looking deeply at what it means to be "reaching" people with the good news of Jesus, with the hope to see them become disciples. How did Jesus reach his disciples? What can we learn from his example as we seek to reach people in our city and beyond?

In 2 Kings 3 we read about Elisha giving the instruction to the people of Israel to "make this valley full of ditches," essentially he’s saying: "If you want to see God move, you need to go ahead and start digging!" There is a powerful invitation for us as followers of Jesus when we consider the metaphor of "digging" in our own Spiritual lives. Making space for God, humbling ourselves and inviting Him to come and do what we cannot. In this message, Pastor Chris shares our 2026 word for the year, but also some of the ways we’re being invited to start ‘digging’ into what God has for us.

In this message, Justice and Operations Director Hannah Martha Cohen Banks leads us in discovering Jesus' identity as the light to the nations. Using the prophecies of Isaiah, the story of Hanukkah, and Jesus' own self-declarations in John, she asserts that Jesus is the light that shines forever and through Jesus all are invited into the Kingdom of God.

The revelation of God in Jesus was not what any of us could have expected. Jesus came as a King and reigns still as King, but not like the Kings of our world, in the Kingship of Jesus we learn what true heavenly power can look like as its lived out in weakness and suffering. Pastor Chris leads us in this teaching as we continue our Prophecy Fulfilled series.

This Advent, we begin a new series, Prophecy Fulfilled, exploring how Jesus perfectly completes the Old Testament’s promises. In this message, Pastor Olu focuses on Isaiah’s prophecy of a coming King and its fulfillment in Luke’s announcement of Jesus’ eternal reign. Where human rulers fail, Jesus—the humble, obedient, and sovereign King—alone carries the weight of our lives and the cosmos. His reign brings the peace, justice, and security every heart longs for.

As we conclude this series Pastor Chris unpacks one of the most asked and pondered questions of all human history; what happens when we die? The Bible has much to say about this, and the promise of Jesus that death is not the end is one of the core truths upon which we can build our faith.

Continuing our series, This Much I Know, we explore a foundational question: "Does the Church still matter?" In a moment marked by collapse, disconnection, trauma, and burnout, what does Jesus say about the future of His Church? Preaching from Matthew 16:13-19, Pastor Olu names today's crises while lifting our eyes to Christ's promise that "the gates of Hades will not overpower it." This message unpacks how the Church's proclamation, connection, and mission form God's pathway for transforming lives and society.
