  • We are so very glad you're considering joining us for some of our biggest celebrations of the year! You are wanted, welcome, and accepted in our church. 

    • What should I wear? While Easter Sunday is typically thought of as a time when people dress their very best, we have a range of dress at GCUMC.  You'll be right at home whether you come in jeans or a suit.  Feel free to have fun with your Easter attire!
    • Will I be greeted? We have greeters and parking lot assistants ready to help you find your way and a good seat.  We do have a short "fellowship greeting" within our service when people often shake hands and say "hi" to those around them, but we do not recognize or single out guests in any way during our services. 
    • What is the worship style? We have a blended service with a mix of traditional favorites and some more modern music.  You can expect some responsive liturgy, a stirring message, uplifting music and an offering.  
    • Will there be activities for my children? Yes! We love kids at GCUMC.  At the 11:00am service there will be a children's moment as well as special children's worship for kids in kindergarten through 6th grade.  A butterfly release is also planned immediately following the 11:00am service.  If you choose to keep your children with you in worship, that's fine too! We have worship bags to help keep our kids engaged during the service. Nursery is provided by professional staff for infants through age 4 at both the 9:00am and 11:00am services.

  • Check out these video resources explaining Easter and some of the Holy Week traditions we celebrate.
