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
The first Sunday each month is Family Worship Sunday for children and parents to worship together in the sanctuary.  The remaining Sundays we provide a children's class  (2 years -- Kindergarten). Children can be checked in at the Geist Kids kiosk in the foyer.  A Geist Children's Bulletin is available for  children staying in the sanctuary to engage and participate in the corporate worship gathering.

Core Courses are at 9AM on Sundays.

• The Baptist Catechism
• Digging Deeper: Studying the Scripture being preached Sunday

Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  Why is God building a “house” so important throughout the Bible? What is a way you can spend 2026 helping King Jesus further His house at GCC?
2.  What is keeping you from being a more willing giver than you are? Looking back at 2025, how have you seen Jesus willingly give to build His Church (at GCC or elsewhere; share specific testimonies)? How does this challenge you to surrender your riches back to Him?
3.  What are some common objections to people whole-heartedly singing to the Lord? Why should singing be so important to us as God’s people, from Old to New Testament? If you have time, discuss the purpose and power of song in 1 Chronicles 16:8-13 and/or 2 Chronicles 20:21-23. (Consider putting the Getty’s short book “Sing! How Worship Transforms Your Life, Family, and Church” at the top of your 2026 to-read list.)
4.  What would you say the books of 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles are about in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need these books of the Bible? How has they brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope? (Romans 15:4)
