whose foundation is based on the belief that raising a child of God is a cooperative
effort between the church, the school and the home. Jewel Keepers (Children’s
Church) – Missionary Cassandra
Bass We believe it is important for small children
(ages 2-8) to learn the principles of the bible, while at the
same time
learning lifelong lessons in social etiquette,
social skills, peer relations and much more. In a classroom environment our trained
staff: Nursing Home Ministry – Rev. Janice Bridgers We carry the word to the elderly and people that are confined due to physical and mental illness.

Publications/Public Relations – Brother John Riddick, Jr. Just as important as it is that YOU are an
outstanding, positive addition to the body of Christ, likewise
it is very important that whenever and wherever you see Disciples
of Christ in print or broadcast, that level of excellence is
exhibited. The symbol for our church represents the God we
serve. Don’t you have pride in the God you serve? Our
ministry is steadily growing…measured by the number souls
we are able to spread the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. From humble beginnings with business cards and a newsletter
to bookmarks, clothing and television commercials, we are steadily
evolving while maintaining the excellence and visual aesthetic
that we are called to. As with several of the other ministries,
the skills involved with our ministry can be used as job training
and/or experience. Audio/Visual Ministry – Rev. Emmanuel Bass We bring forth the Word of God to televisions and radios
across the nation. It is our responsibility to make certain
that the appearance and quality of
our message is the best possible at all times, as our work is on the forefront
and in the public eye. Oftentimes, the first contact a person will have with
GLCC will be an audio tape or video broadcast. It is our job to make that
first impression a positive and lasting one. Amen! Library Ministry – Sister Dominique Riddick The GLCC Library Ministry ws created to give both adults and children access and an increased interaction with books. Our library has received donations from a variety of publishers, businesses and individuals alike and hosts a wide selection of reading material from Christian magazines and books from notable authors to traditional fiction and non-fiction for the entire family. Members are issued a library card, as with a standard library. There is no charge to borrow books, late fees are imposed for late returns and lost cards. Each member is responsible for all books borrowed on their card. In addition GLCC video taped sermons can be rented from the library. All fees aid us in increasing our current book selection and making replacing damaged books easy. We are still readily accepting donations of new and gently used books (including bibles) for the library. We provide job training and related skills
for individuals seeking employment and to find jobs better
suited for their skills and talents. We offer basic computer

The church offers food, clothing, resume writing, tutorial assistance, transportation, substance abuse help, job solution, and other extensive services.

people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender
mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath
visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and
in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of
peace. The GLCC Campus Ministry reaches out to
college students teaching about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We witness with our lifestyle and talking with the students.
We fully understand that salvation is a choice. Salvation is
the primary purpose. We are instrumental and effective missionaries
available to encourage any soul that is willing to accept Christ.
The GLCC Campus Ministry visits a college campus at least
once a week. Food Ministry/Food Bank – Missionary Gloria Shaw The Food Ministries provides prepared meals and unprepared grocery items to those in need. One of the more prominent offerings is a hot, prepared lunch after 11am service on second and fourth Sundays. This is a time of fellowship for guests and members. We provide nourishment for the body as well as the soul. We also provide service to the community with the Food Bank in conjunction with the other outreach ministries…lunches for the children’s programs, distribution to the different communities visited by the Salvation Troop. The items are donated to Disciples of Christ from local grocery stores and prepared (if needed) by church members. The GLCC Worship and Praise Choir – Brother Eddie B. Ellis, Jr. The Lord inhabits the praises of his people, and that is just what the GLCC choir does. Joyous sounds and fellowship bring the members of our choir together to give praise through song The Voices of Deliverance
Mass Choir – Rev. Emmanuel Bass The Voices of Deliverance are dedicated to lifting up the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through songs of praise and worship. Through our songs we are ministers and we strive to administer a message of Encouragement, Strength and most of all the assurance that GOD really does love each of us. Each of the members of the Voices of Deliverance are reminded to live a life Holy unto GOD in order for the songs that we sing to be filled with the yoke destroying, burden lifting power of GOD. String Music
Ministry – Sister LaSaundra Lindsey His praises shall continuously be in our mouths, and brought forth as we play on stringed instruments! It is the mission of the String Music Ministry to provide high quality instruction to all persons seeking to develop and/or discover their musical aptitude within the house of the Lord. Through this marvelous music ministry we shall reach, teach, and love both the saved and unsaved; helping the lost find their way to the Father. Ministry of Helps – Deaconess Jessica McDaniel The
Ministry of Ushering at GLCC welcomes new representatives
of Jesus Christ to serve the needs of the people in our sanctuary
and abroad for all events. The
Usher Ministry, also known as the Ministry of Helps, are ambassadors of kindness,
exhibiting kindness, compassion and understanding as we do the work of the
Lord. Housekeeping and Maintenance Ministry – Missionary Gloria Shaw We are the one’s that keep the Lord’s house “in order” in the most literal sense. A church may not seem like a lot of work, but even the smallest church house requires the assistance of a team of caring and diligent individuals dedicated to the meticulous task of making sure the carpets are cleaned, rooms are swept and materials are kept in pristine condition at all times. This involves but is not limited to: vacuuming before every service, maintaining ample supply of paper towels, soap, bathroom items, light bulbs and just about anything else you can imagine to make everyone’s next visit seem just like the first. Take the time to look around sometime, and know that it took someone’s loving hands to put each piece on its place. |
