What to Expect

Attire

At GLC, it’s about God not clothes! We encourage everyone to come to church comfortably. Some people dress up, while others attend in casual attire. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Worship

Our worship time opens the service at 9:30 a.m. This time is set aside for you to communicate with God. From prayer to singing, your expression of worship is based on your personality. Through live, upbeat praise, as well as, a more low-key intimate worshipful environment, our Worship Leaders will help set the atmosphere for you to boldly worship God. Remember everyone is different and worship in their own unique way – and at GLC we welcome you to worship God comfortably.

Offering

During each service there is a time in which we worship God through the giving of tithes and offerings. As a guest, please do not feel any pressure to give. This is each individual’s personal act of worship and obedience to God.

The Message (sermon)

The sermon is delivered by Bishop Jim Lowe for the 9:30 a.m. Sunday Service and Wednesday Bible Studies. These sermons are messages inspired by God, that are relevant, straight-forward and Scripture based. These messages will help you develop a growing, passionate relationship with Jesus Christ and provide a strong biblical foundation for your life.

The majority of the scripture references are from the NKJV Bible. To ensure that everyone is reading the same passage of scripture, scriptures are placed on large monitors throughout the sanctuary.

Communion

Anyone can participate in this time of reflection and prayer – as long as they’ve made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. The communion elements represent the life Jesus Christ sacrificed (gave up), so that our sins could be forgiven.

Youth and Teens

Our Youth Ministry offers classes on Sundays and Wednesdays for youth, six weeks to 12 years of age. The youth are taught, according to their age level, in an environment that’s designed for their spiritual growth. Parents are encouraged to contact the Youth Ministry for a tour and more information, before visiting The Guiding Light Church.

The GLC Teen’s Ministry is available 1^st – 3^rd Sundays in the Gold Room. On the 4^th Sundays, Teens are in the ATTIC for their breakout sessions, Can We Talk?  These gender oriented, spirit lead breakout sessions are designed to shape the teens’ social growth.  In these sessions, teens will have open, honest, and head-on discussions about the social issues they face in their everyday lives such as social media posts, school life, and friends.
