Read the descriptions, choose the class that best fits your season, and register using the button below. DOCTRINE FOR THE HUNGRY Go deeper into the great doctrines of the Christian faith—and learn why they matter for worship, spiritual growth, and everyday life. This accessible but substantial class will help participants examine Scripture, understand major theological positions, recognize error, and explain what they believe with biblical clarity. Doctrine for the Hungry is designed as a two-semester course. This registration is for the Fall semester only; registration for the Spring semester will open separately. Option 1 : 9:50 AM: Led by James Jolliff and Anthony Ochoa Option 2: 11:15 AM: Led by Anthony Ochoa and Randy Barton Cost : $5 per person, including a personal copy of the course book Preparation : Weekly reading and written reflection will be assigned. EXPLORING THE NEW TESTAMENT Trace the unfolding revelation of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom through the books of the New Testament. Rather than treating each book as a disconnected introduction, this course will explore the unity of the New Testament, the fulfillment of the Old Testament in Christ, the development of the Kingdom of God, and the life of the church under apostolic teaching. Each week will introduce the historical setting, structure, major themes, Christological emphasis, key passages, and practical implications of a New Testament book or section. The Fall semester will cover the background of the New Testament, the Gospels, Acts, and several of Paul’s major letters. The course will continue into the Spring semester. Time : 9:50 AM Led by : Dan Cheek, Jerome Hall, Tyler Grimes, Tim Jones, and Aaron Burger Cost : Free Preparation : Participants are encouraged to read the assigned biblical book or passage before class. MARRIAGE: What Did You Expect? Marriage reveals far more than the strengths and weaknesses of our spouse—it reveals the worship, desires, expectations, and struggles of our own hearts. Using Paul David Tripp’s What Did You Expect?, this 14-week class will help husbands and wives examine marriage biblically and grow in grace, forgiveness, communication, faithfulness, and Christlike love. This class is intended for married couples in every season of marriage, whether they are presently thriving or struggling. Time : 9:50 AM Led by : Steve Williams Cost : $10 per person, including a personal copy of the book Registration : Husband and wife should register together. Preparation : Participants will read one chapter and complete brief exercises each week. Capacity : Limited to 10 couples. WOMEN OF GRACE DISCIPLESHIP Following Jesus means knowing Him and His teaching, growing to become more like Him, and going in service to others and in making disciples.

Participants will work through the Rose Guide Discipleship “Knowing” workbook during the week and discuss the material together in class. Whether you are learning these truths for the first time or returning to them after years of following Christ, this class is designed to refresh, clarify, and deepen your understanding of the faith. Time : 8:30 AM Led by : Kristi Grimes and Jennifer Hill Cost : $5 per person, including the workbook Preparation : Participants will complete the assigned workbook study each week.

Sunday, October 25 12:15 pm | Hope Hall RSVP RSVP by the Wednesday before Next Steps Statement Of Faith Our Statement of Faith at GCC 1. We believe the sixty-six books of the Bible to be the only inspired, authoritative Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21) 2. We believe that there is one God , the Creator, eternally existent in three Persons–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–each having the same essence and attributes. (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19) 3. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man in indivisible union. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary atonement through His shed blood, His death and bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future bodily return in power and glory. (John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:6-8; 1 Timothy 3:16; Revelation 19:11-16; I Corinthians 15:1-8) 4. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them as they yield to Him with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. (Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 12:13; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18) 5. We believe salvation is a gift of God received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that a person is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers have eternal life. Saving faith includes repentance, which is a change of mind about sin and the need for Jesus as Savior. (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; I John 5:10-13; Mark 1:15) 6. We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head. (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22) 7. We believe that water baptism and *Communion are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. (Acts 8:12; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28) 8. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting glory in heaven with God and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in hell apart from God. (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 22:3-5, 20:15; Daniel 12:2) *Communion is open to all who have trusted Christ as Savior whether members of Grace or not and is observed on the first Sunday of each month. Our Commitment G.R.A.C.E I submit myself to the care and the authority of the biblically qualified elders that God has placed over GCC. In joining with GCC, and walking in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, I will strive to do the following: Proclaim Jesus and Pursue Maturity in Him. Grow Spiritually I will pursue a pattern of progressive transformation into the image of Jesus, understanding that spiritual growth is my personal responsibility. John 15:1-17 | 2 Peter 1:3-11 | Ephesians 4:14-15 Reproduce Intentionally I will see God-given potential in others and use my gifts, experiences, and resources to participate in their spiritual development. 1 Corinthians 11:1 | 1 Thessalonians 5:11-15 | 2 Timothy 2:1-7 Advance the Gospel I will leverage my opportunities to live and proclaim salvation by grace through faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 28:18-20 |Romans 10:13-15 | 1 Peter 3:13-17 Connect in Worship I will unite with the church body, offering my whole self as an act of submission and commitment to the glory of God. Romans 12:1 | 1 Corinthians 12:21-27 |Hebrew 10:19-25, 13:15-17 Engage in Service I will maintain a servant’s heart as I regularly contribute to the body of Christ in spiritual and practical ways. Matthew 20:26b-28 | Romans 12:3-8 | 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Membership Commitment Ready to take the next step? It's now time to fill out the "membership application".
