We are here to help people experience His presence, grow in their faith, and go out to serve others with love and purpose.

Care Ministry

The heart of our Care Ministry is to walk alongside individuals navigating difficult seasons—whether they are grieving, struggling with illness, or facing challenging life circumstances. Our mission is to provide compassionate care rooted in the love of Jesus. We offer pastoral support through one-on-one visits, prayer, and practical assistance, helping people find healing, hope, and spiritual direction during tough times to find healing and wholeness.

In addition to our pastoral care, we have dedicated hospitality, safety, and prayer teams as integral parts of our Care Ministries. Our hospitality team ensures that individuals feel welcomed and supported during their time of need, while our safety team focuses on creating a secure and comforting environment for those seeking assistance. Our prayer team is committed to lifting the needs of individuals in prayer, providing spiritual support and comfort during difficult seasons. Together, these teams work in harmony to provide holistic care rooted in the love and compassion of Jesus.

We believe genuine care starts with being fully present, just as Jesus was. This reflects our core value of Presence—to know Jesus and help others know Him. Whether someone is experiencing grief or stress or needs guidance, we are here to listen, pray, and provide a supportive space where they can encounter the love of Christ to find healing and wholeness.

Amigos 55+

Our Seniors Ministry is designed to honour and integrate older adults into every aspect of church life. We believe seniors are not just members but spiritual fathers and mothers, contributing their wisdom and faith to our community. Each month, we host activities, including a lunch gathering where seniors can experience meaningful fellowship, delicious food, and spiritual encouragement. These events offer a space where seniors can grow in their knowledge of Jesus and stay connected with others in the church, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose.

Through our visitation teams, we extend care to seniors who may be homebound or unable to attend church events. These visits ensure they remain a vital part of our church family, receiving spiritual care, companionship, and a reminder that they are loved and valued.

We typically host a luncheon on the third Thursday of each month which breaks for summer. You can find more information and register HERE!

Intercultural Ministry

GT Church embraces the richness of diversity, and our Intercultural Ministry seeks to build bridges across cultures, creating a welcoming space for people from all walks of life. We celebrate our differences while uniting in our shared love for God and each other. This ministry encourages cross-cultural understanding and collaboration, helping us grow together as a global family in Christ.

We believe that everyone brings unique gifts and perspectives to our church, and our goal is to integrate those experiences into the church's life through worship, fellowship, and service. Guided by our core values of Presence, Formation, and Mission (Know, Grow, Go), we are passionate about equipping every person to grow in their faith and engage with Jesus's mission.

In all we do—whether through seniors’ gatherings, pastoral care, or intercultural outreach—our mission is clear: to reflect Jesus' command to love God and love people (Matthew 22:37-39). We are here to help people experience His presence, grow in their faith, and go out to serve others with love and purpose.
