GCC Elder Leadership
Here at GCC, our church is shepherded and guided by a team of Elders. The mission, vision, and spiritual direction are shaped by a team, not by a single lead pastor. The men and their wives have been invited to serve on this team and have met the qualifications we discover in 1 Timothy 3:1–7, 1 Peter 5:1–4, and Titus 1:5–9. If you are new to GCC, you can learn more about our Elder Team in Growth Track.
