SERVE ON A TEAM
Here at GCCP, we want to give each member an opportunity to discover, be trained, and use his/her gifts and talents to bless others in the church.
We believe that each follower of Jesus has a unique role to play in God's kingdom. Each week, hundreds of people at GCCP work together to convey that no matter someone's age or life stage and no matter where they are in their spiritual journey, they can learn more about Jesus and the Bible and find community at our church.

Why Serve?
"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." ( 1 Peter 4:10)
For a follower of Jesus, serving in the church is both a privilege and a responsibility. Serving honors God and allows us to grow in our relationship with Christ and with fellow believers. It also shows our commitment to follow Jesus when He said to love our neighbors, and allows us to demonstrate to others what the love of Christ looks like.
Requirements to Serve
We believe it’s important that those serving in the church have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; are aligned around our vision, mission, and statement of faith; and are willing to be held accountable in matters concerning their relationship with God and others.
To be eligible to serve, you must be:
A baptized Christian and an active GCCP member of good standing.
Regularly attending worship services at GCCP on-site for 6 months prior to joining the ministry (3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 weeks per month).
Additionally, you must be:
Willing and able to comply with the requirements of the ministry role he/she wishes to take.
