 MINISTRIES

 

GCA ReNEW Ministry

When Churches struggle to impact their communities with the Gospel, a new approach is needed... but what?

Your church isn't alone; our associational ReNEW team is here to help.

This journey requires humility, wisdom, and love from all involved. May the Lord grant you clarity as you consider this ministry for your church.

GCA Preschool Partnership Program

Does your church desire to serve families in the local community? 

Optimizing your facility's usage means using it throughout the week while keeping it available for church activities. It is crucial to collaborate with like-minded ministry partners who share your commitment to spreading the Gospel. We invite your church to explore a potential partnership with Hearts and Hands Christian Preschools, a GCA ministry, to serve the young families in your community better.

Great Commission Training Institute

Great Commission Training Institute (GCTI) is the equipping component of Operation Great Commission with the premise that leadership development is essential to church health and gospel impact. The goal is to equip reproducible disciple-makers and provide quality training accessible and affordable to pastors, church lay leaders, ministry wives, and bi-vocational leaders.
