OUR GCA DNA
At GCA, Christlikeness is our central and overarching goal. We desire that, both individually and collectively, we reflect the character and nature of Christ in all that we do.
The foundational Scripture guiding this vision is 2 Corinthians 3:18, which speaks of being transformed by the Spirit of God "from one degree of glory to another." This verse captures the ongoing journey of spiritual formation—where, as followers of Christ, we are continually being shaped to resemble Him more fully.
