Great Commission Church

A Snapshot of GCC

We believe the Bible.
We take the highest view of Jesus.
We are not ashamed of the message of the cross.
We teach what God has to say about life, death and eternity.
We are committed to our local community: Olive Branch, MS
We don't condemn people - GCC is a hospital for sinners, not a showroom for saints.
We believe in holy living but we don't always "get it right!"
We don't ask our visitors to meet the financial needs of our ministry
We dress comfortably and casually
Our typical service is 1 hour 15 minutes

Our Core Values
People: People matter to God and last forever
Disciple-Making: We develop people into fully functioning followers of Christ
Christian Community: Who we know and where we go makes all the difference
Grace: We’re accepted by the one who matters most
Excellence: What we do, we strive to do well

Our Church Structure
Great Commission Church is an elder-led congregation of believers rather than congregationally led.
This means the Elders have the freedom to lead the church and make the day to day decisions. We are guided by the pastors, guarded by the elders, and gifted by the members.
