GCC Quarryville

For many years, GCC’s vision has been to be a healthy, growing, multi-generational church with multiple services and multiple sites. In 2026, that vision is becoming reality! GCC is entering into a lease agreement with Memorial Church in Quarryville at 101 S. Hess Street, Quarryville, to launch our Southern End Campus in April 2026. GCC Quarryville Campus will be everything you know and love about GCC – same contemporary worship set, same sermon series, same children’s ministry, and same welcoming atmosphere. GCC Quarryville will have live contemporary worship with live preaching. We are excited to announce that the GCC Quarryville Campus pastoral couple will be our own Pastor Josh and Emma Marcroft!

As this exciting news is shared, we ask you to prayerfully consider your participation in the GCC Quarryville Campus. Is the Lord leading you to pray, go, or serve at Quarryville? Share your intention for the campus using the link below.

Josh and Emma are both Lancaster County natives who attended Lampeter-Strasburg. While they went to the same high school, they didn’t meet until after college. Josh attended Lancaster Bible College for pastoral ministry and earned an MDiv from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Emma graduated from Liberty University with a degree in business administration. Josh enjoys watching sports, reading good novels, specifically science and historical fiction, and watching movies. You might find Emma potting a house plant from a greenhouse, working on a puzzle, or playing the piano. Together, they have fun building Lego sets, finding new restaurants, and eating ice cream.

Grace Community Church has been a part of their lives for the entirety of their relationship. Emma started attending at the invitation of her cousin, and Josh was invited by his brother. They were set up by someone who knew they both attended GCC. Josh has served in two positions at GCC, the Pastoral Assistant of Discipleship and the Young Adult Pastor. Last year Josh and Emma felt that God was calling them to campus ministry. After speaking with GCC leadership, it became apparent that GCC Quarryville was where God was asking them to go. They are excited to be a part of the first campus launched by GCC and have already seen how God is making a way to do gospel-centered ministry in Quarryville. Their aim is to take the DNA of GCCWS and plant it in the heart of the community of Quarryville. Josh and Emma look forward to this new opportunity to help people know and follow Jesus.
