GBCC DIGITAL BULLETIN

Green Bay Community Church is a non-denominational group of Christ followers and a transforming community of families that are loving God and others. We are mobilizing people to share the hope of Jesus Christ with all people in the Green Bay area and walk with them as they become a member of the spiritual family, the Church. 

WORSHIP SERVICES

Regular Sunday morning programming includes worship services at 8:00 and 10:00 AM and a hot, delicious breakfast served at 9:00 AM. Go here to find out what to expect on a Sunday morning at GBCC.

This coming Sunday (March 26) Pastor Troy Murphy will continue in our current sermon series called "Out of Sight, Out of Mind," which examines the spiritual warfare going on around us. 

We will continue to provide ways for you to grow in your faith, connect with others or ask questions about spiritual matters. Please stop at the Information Center in the GBCC lobby on Sunday morning and note these specific areas:

-ASK: Pray with me.

-GROW: Pursue Jesus.

-ENGAGE: Walk with me.

We also encourage you to make breakfast part of your Sunday worship experience. We believe that connecting with others is an integral part of the local church.

Easter Services at GBCC

Join us for Easter services on Sunday, April 9. Our morning services at GBCC will be at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 am. Kids programming (birth through 5th grade) will be available for the 8:00 and 9:30 am services.

Baptisms will take place at each of the services. If you are interested in getting baptized please email us at
