GCCers Embrace the Journey

Over the past three years our midweek New Community service averaged just under 1,000 people. A month ago we held our final New Community service to transition to Journey Bible Classes. The classes shift our midweek teaching focus from a single Bible teaching from a single teacher/pastor for 40 minutes to a 75-minute teaching time and 3 teachers with 3 respective Bible focuses. People have options for studies that they own; they have new handles in charting their journey with Christ.

And they have responded enthusiastically.

In contrast to our former New Community average attendance, over 1,400 people have preregistered for classes that begin this next Wednesday! I'm expecting over 1,600 people to arrive for 3 classes that barely seat 1,500.

Our teams are challenged with the likelihood that we'll not have enough seats. And our teams are crazy excited about the challenge.

GCCers are embracing more than change. They're embracing the journey; they're embracing Jesus.
