Serving Opportunity: Sunday Morning Coffee

Get to know people at GCC in a casual, low-pressure setting by joining the Sunday Morning Coffee team. Team members either prepare coffee on Sunday mornings before the 8:00 am service, or clean up coffee at the beginning of the 11:00 am service. It’s a great way to get to know people as they mingle in the Café while also helping in a practical ministry at GCC. Learn more about the needs of this ministry by registering today.
