In this message, Pastor Chris begins a new series, teaching through GCC's new vision statement: Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom. We begin by looking deeply at what it means to be "reaching" people with the good news of Jesus, with the hope to see them become disciples. How did Jesus reach his disciples? What can we learn from his example as we seek to reach people in our city and beyond? GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITA...
In 2 Kings 3 we read about Elisha giving the instruction to the people of Israel to "make this valley full of ditches," essentially he’s saying: "If you want to see God move, you need to go ahead and start digging!" There is a powerful invitation for us as followers of Jesus when we consider the metaphor of "digging" in our own Spiritual lives. Making space for God, humbling ourselves and inviting Him to come and do what we cannot. In this message, Pastor Chris shares our 2026 word for the ye...
In celebration of our Lord and King Jesus' birthday, 5 members of our church spoke in front of the congregation to share their advent message on: Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Merry Christmas to everyone listening and may the light and life of Jesus' first coming bless you this Holiday season. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
In this message, Justice and Operations Director Hannah Martha Cohen Banks leads us in discovering Jesus' identity as the light to the nations. Using the prophecies of Isaiah, the story of Hanukkah, and Jesus' own self-declarations in John, she asserts that Jesus is the light that shines forever and through Jesus all are invited into the Kingdom of God.

The revelation of God in Jesus was not what any of us could have expected. Jesus came as a King and reigns still as King, but not like the Kings of our world, in the Kingship of Jesus we learn what true heavenly power can look like as its lived out in weakness and suffering. Pastor Chris leads us in this teaching as we continue our Prophecy Fulfilled series. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
This Advent, we begin a new series, Prophecy Fulfilled, exploring how Jesus perfectly completes the Old Testament’s promises. In this message, Pastor Olu focuses on Isaiah’s prophecy of a coming King and its fulfillment in Luke’s announcement of Jesus’ eternal reign. Where human rulers fail, Jesus—the humble, obedient, and sovereign King—alone carries the weight of our lives and the cosmos. His reign brings the peace, justice, and security every heart longs for.

As we conclude this series Pastor Chris unpacks one of the most asked and pondered questions of all human history; what happens when we die? The Bible has much to say about this, and the promise of Jesus that death is not the end is one of the core truths upon which we can build our faith. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
Continuing our series, This Much I Know, we explore a foundational question: "Does the Church still matter?" In a moment marked by collapse, disconnection, trauma, and burnout, what does Jesus say about the future of His Church? Preaching from Matthew 16:13-19, Pastor Olu names today's crises while lifting our eyes to Christ's promise that "the gates of Hades will not overpower it." This message unpacks how the Church's proclamation, connection, and mission form God's pathway for transfo...
A message from Pastor Holly, continuing our series looking at pillars of our faith and the questions that often arise around them. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
In this message, Pastor Chris explores the central claim of the Christian faith that Jesus rose from the dead. He unpacks why this pillar is so important to our faith and teaches on both its truth and its power. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
This Sunday, guest speaker Pastor Bruce Goodwin from Light City Church continues our series, This Much I Know, exploring a foundational question of our faith: What is the Gospel? Through the story of Nicodemus in John 3, Pastor Bruce reminds us that Jesus's saving message not only attracts crowds but also reaches individuals. The Gospel, plain and simple, is this: Christ lived, died, and rose again to bring God's children back to Himself. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gather...
After answering the question; is there a God? We now come to the question; ‘Why this God?’ Why the God revealed to us in the Bible? Why the God revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ? In this message Pastor Chris explores the central tenants of the Christian faith and why these are an invitation to each of us to truly know the creator of the Universe. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
This week we're addressing the question: Is there a God? Justice and Operations Director Hannah Martha Cohen Banks uses a multi-disciplinary approach to argue for the existence of God. Ultimately, though, she challenges us to pray a courageous prayer and ask God to reveal God's self to us! GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
As we kick off our new series, Pastor Chris asks the question: How do we build our lives on a foundation of truth? Looking at the parable of the Wise and Foolish Builder, this message explores the nature of truth, our prayers for this coming series and what it means to be a people not rocked by the storms of this life.

In the concluding message of the Living Stones series, Pastor Chris dives into what it means to be a Kingdom Adventurer. He reminds us that "success" in the Kingdom is us continuously becoming more like Jesus, demonstrating the Kingdom of God here on earth - the greatest adventure we will ever be a part of. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sunday Gatherings at 4pm
As part of our Living Stones series, Pastor Olu explores the story of the Good Samaritan and what it teaches us about becoming Compassionate Neighbors. Genuine spiritual growth isn’t about busyness or religious checklists—it’s about having a tender heart, taking action when others are in need, and making space in our lives for those on the margins. Ultimately, the story points us to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who heals, carries, and restores us. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPITALCITY Sun...
Did you know the concept of “Home” and “Making” has existed before the world began? In this message, Pastor Holly dives deep into our second Living Stone, Courageous Homemaker, challenging us to broaden our view of “homemaker”, a mostly American term and largely defined by culture. She defines who is a Kingdom Homemaker (everyone), why we all need courage to step into our roles as homemakers, and what does a Courageous Homemaker do? You will be challenged and encouraged to press into God, The...
In this message Pastor Chris begins our new series exploring the calling on our House to raise and release disciples, or ‘Living Stones’. Each week we’ll be looking at one of the unique areas God is raising up ‘Living Stones’ in our House and what it means to live into that. So what is a relentless worshipper? Unpacking Luke 7, the story of Jesus being anointed by the sinful woman gives us a vision of what relentless worship can look like in our lives. GRACECAPITALCITY.COM @GRACECAPIT...
In this week’s sermon, we explore Isaiah 61:1-4, unpacking how the Spirit’s anointing empowers ordinary people for extraordinary mission—binding up the brokenhearted, lifting the afflicted, and rebuilding ruined cities. The invitation is the same now as then: not just to know about God’s hand, but to experience it. Because when God touches us, transformed people transform society.
