The Present Word is an in-depth, six-year Bible study that focuses on a specific theme each quarter. Designed through an ecumenical collaboration, it brings together participants from multiple denominations to explore the same passages together — fostering a shared, serious engagement with Scripture and its relevance to our world today.
This semester, the curriculum focuses on the story of women & men who heard God's call, responded in faith, and through their words & deeds, spread the good news.

Christian Women Fellowship
Join the VIPS for lunch and a program the first Thursday of the month. Gathering begins at 11:30, with the program starting at noon. Field trips to local areas of interest are offered from time to time, in addition to their monthly meetings.
Other than Sunday morning worship, VIPS meetings are the largest and most welcoming gatherings in the church. VIPS excel in maintaining contact with and caring for one another, are creative in the variety of programs and outings offered, and enjoy a “favorite people” status with members of the Youth Group. The VIPS are also the most outreach-oriented and service-minded group in the church, second only to the Community Engagement ministry, making consistent, generous donations to the various missions of GPC.
