Our Vision
A Growing And Spirit Filled Church That Loves God and Loves People.
God’s vision for any and every church is much more than having services on Sunday and Wednesday. Actually, until we accomplish the aspects of the vision, you really haven’t experienced all the excitement of what God can do when you gather for those services.
Our Values
GCFirst embraces the four non-negotiable values, built on the principle that “Every person is valued and is the focus of our ministry.”
1. Every person has the right to a presentation of the Gospel at his or her level of understanding.
–“Every person” God’s heart is to reach every person with his love and salvation. There is no one He does not love and want to save.
–“Has a right to a presentation of the Gospel” We as a church and individuals must do everything we can to share Christ with those who do not know Him. This must take priority over lesser things.
–“At his or her level of understanding” We must learn to communicate the gospel in ways that a non-Christian can understand.
2. Every person needs a biblical moral compass to guide and protect him/her throughout life. No one can live their life in their own strength and wisdom. We all need guidance. We believe the Bible is the key to living meaningful lives.
3. Every believer has unique gifts to be discovered, developed, and used to strengthen the Church. God has given to every Christian spiritual gifts, abilities and experiences that He wants to use to impact others.
4. Every believer has a purpose in advancing the global mission of Christ and the Church. Individually we can never impact the world, but together we can impact our communities and the world.

Our Mission
Our mission is to reach the lost, disciple believers, and extend Christ’s compassion beyond our walls.
1. We Reach The Lost
We are committed to sharing the gospel in new and creative ways. Whether through personal evangelism, digital outreach, or community events, we will not stop proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.2. Strengthening Our Church Family
We will focus on deepening discipleship, equipping believers to grow in faith, and fostering a strong sense of belonging. Small groups, prayer gatherings, and intentional fellowship will be key to building a thriving spiritual community.
3. Serving Our Community
Jesus calls us to be the light of the world. We will expand our outreach efforts to meet real needs in our neighborhoods-feeding the hungry, caring for the brokenhearted, and being a source of hope to those who are struggling.
4. Expanding Our Global Impact
Our mission does not stop at our city’s borders. We will continue to support missionaries, partner with ministries that bring hope to the nations, and look for ways to be a part of what God is doing around the world.
