Getting to know each other

We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at Greater Chicago Church a great one!

What can I expect?

How long is a GCC service?

In total, our GCC service is 90-100 minutes in length. The service begins and ends with the GCC worship team leading the church in a time of worship - song lyrics are projected onto the screen so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. In the middle of the service, one of our speakers will come and share a powerful, encouraging and provoking message.

What's the culture like at GCC?

Sundays at GCC are exciting, casual, and relaxed. We are a house that champions freedom and simply ask that you extend the same freedom to others. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.

What about my kids?

We believe that kids should have a blast at church every week, while also hearing about the Good News of Jesus. At GCC, we make this a priority. Encounter Kids + Youth is located in our lower level, through the double doors. Encounter Kids is offered for kids 6 months old through Grade 12. Check-in time is between 9:45 and 10:15.
