GCC Kids
helping kids know and follow jesus – for life!
At GCC Kids, we are passionate about connecting kids to God’s Word, forming Christ-centered relationships, and applying biblical truths to everyday life – and doing it all in a way that is so meaningful and fun that kids don’t want to miss it! We have an incredible team who have the required PA child protection clearances to care for your kids each week.
We believe that families are the most influential people in their kids’ lives, and we want to provide you with tools that equip you to be your kid’s spiritual mentors.
What To Expect at GCC Kids
Every weekend, we create safe, intentional, creative and fun environments to equip kids to be lifelong followers of Jesus and to begin to understand the Bible with all their heart, soul and mind.
