WELCOME TO FAMILY MONTH AT GPC!

This August, we’re pulling up a chair and making room for what matters most. At The Table is more than a theme...it’s an invitation. An invitation to slow down, gather close, and rediscover the power of connection, conversation, and Christ-centered community. Whether you’re a family of one or ten, there’s a place for you. Join us each week as we grow in faith, strengthen our homes, and make space for others around the table.
