GAC Mission Statement
To know Christ and to make Him known.
Our Vision
Discipleship Family Based
Our vision is a large family made up of smaller families. These smaller groups (DF's) are the basis of how we know Jesus and make Him known. They provide opportunities to grow in Jesus (UP), to belong (IN), and to reach out (OUT). DF's are like the cells in our bodies: they connect, work together, and provide the nutrients needed to grow.

Deeper Life Focused
Our vision is a church focused on genuine life transformation. We emphasize the work of the Holy Spirit in changing people from the inside out, the sanctifying work of God's Word as we live it out, the need to give God access to our inner lives, and the living out of our identity in Christ.

Large Church Structure
