The Vision Of Child And Youth Sunday School

We love family at GCF and we love the opportunity to disciple children and youth in the truth of Jesus Christ. Our Sunday School programming is scheduled to begin on Sunday, September 20. Here is our vision and our commitments in raising up the next generation.

Our Vision:

Our vision through Glory Kids is to raise children who walk in Jesus and overflow in thanksgiving to him.

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

Colossians 2:6-7

Desiring…that children see the Bible as one continuous story that points to Jesus Christ.

Aiming…to build a big picture of God’s love through Jesus Christ

Believing…God-Centered theology matters in children’s ministry because we want them to be confident in God, not in themselves.

Working…to help children to think biblically, to treasure the Bible, and love Jesus.

Seeking…to support and equip parents to be the spiritual champions in their child’s life.

Sunday School Volunteers Needed

Our goal is to fully staff our Sunday School classrooms by Wednesday, September 9. Here are the following needs:

*Two Helpers for our Preschool class

*One Co-Teacher for our Kindergarten-2nd Grade Class

*One Co-Teacher for our 3rd - 5th Grade Class

Please Pray For Our Upcoming School Year And Consider Volunteering!

Worship Songs, October 15, 2017

We post these worship songs leading up to the worship service so that parents may listen to them in the house or in the car within the days leading up to the worship service. Our hope is that children will hear the songs prior to and it will prepare them to participate in worship on Sunday mornings. My Redeemers Love Hope Has Come I Will Glory In My Redeemer Blessed Be Your Name Here In Your Presence Your Glory Be Still My Soul (In You I Rest) -- Sermon Text: John 11:1-16 That the next generation will set their hope in God and not forget the works of God (Psalm 78:7).

Deacons - How They Serve and Strengthen the Church (Part 1)

One of the next important priorities for GCF is to establish deacons in the life of the church. On March 14, 2021 we were able to establish an elder team. Currently, we have a team of four elders overseeing the congregation of GCF. However, there is more work to be done. I have come to see that establishing an elder team was the bare minimum that needed to happen for GCF to survive. I believe GCF now needs to turn our attention to raising up a team of qualified and willing deacons to serve the congregation so that it will not only survive but thrive. I would like to begin a series of blogs on deacons to help us understand who they are and what they do in the life of the church. In this blog let me provide three reasons why I think deacons should be near our top priority. Number 1: It is Biblical. Paul instructs Timothy to install elders who will help him pastor the church. For whatever reason, it seems the churches in our circles treat the installmen...

The Secret of all Failure is our Failure in Secret Prayer

“We may be assured of this—the secret of all failure is our failure in secret prayer” (12). So writes the anonymous author of the classic little book on prayer entitled, The Kneeling Christian (Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids: 1971). He means that the reason we so often fall into sin or live in discouragement or fail to bear fruit is because we do not cling to God in Christ above all things. We do not diligently seek him or lean on him or plead with him or draw on his strength. We give ourselves to busyness over communion with God and in this way we seek to accomplish in our flesh what can only be accomplished in the power of the Spirit. Giving first place to what our dear author calls “secret prayer” is indeed a key to the Spirit-filled life but let’s be clear: prayer is not magic, rather, it’s a relationship. It’s not as if we simply have to file requests with God, being careful to use just the right words so that we can get him to respond as we wish. God is not a vendi...
