READ MOREOne of the ministries I follow is called, “Voice of the Martyrs.” It’s an outreach and awareness ministry to help individuals and their families who are being persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and even killed for being followers of Jesus.

READ MOREI’m still celebrating our new brothers and sisters in Christ who bent the knee to the Savior this past Easter at GCC! That, my friends, never gets old! And I wish I could say that heaven starts now for the new believer, but I would be doing a disservice at best. Though you have been […]

So, we always encourage our members to invite friends and family to visit, but we understand that it may not always be easy to do so. Just in case you […]
READ MOREI was listening to one of my favorite preachers the other day when he uncharacteristically went off on a rant about another pastor. This “other” pastor’s identity wasn’t very cryptically kept. In fact, you’d have to have been living the last decade under the proverbial rock to not have figured it out in less time […]
