Great Commission Community Church

Being new to the DC area, I am beyond grateful for this church. And beyond grateful to my friend who drove me here for the past year before I finally got my own car. That being said, the church is metro accessible so when you don’t want to drive (personally, I find this an absurd thought…), or if you can’t drive, you can metro it on over! (And once you do, it won’t be long before you can find someone who’ll give you a ride back home… and then back to church the next Sunday!)
Over the past year, I’ve come to learn and experience that GCCC truly embodies its name. The church is actively involved in fulfilling the Great Commission through local partnerships, global partnerships, and activities in between – doing this directly in community, or with the support of the larger church community – all the while not forgetting to spend time with one another in fellowship. This is a church that has a heart and passion for going out just as much it does building within, and I think there’s a delightful, humbling beauty of seeing more of who Jesus is and what Jesus stands for in this manner.

Attending for over 2 years, but made the push to review finally! I’m from California and was looking for a strongly gospel centered church that really delves into the bible, as well as good community!
In short, the sermons by Pastor Steve, Sam, and Phillip are on point! Delving into God’s word and delving deep into the word is definitely the name of the game. Topical «hoop-​a-​la» that some sermons may be at other churches are infrequent here (so you’ll give your bible or bible app good usage).
Community is awesome (although it may take a bit of time to get to really find that «niche»), most people are very open to have people come eat or hang out! There are post-​church lunch events twice a month, so you can get plugged in/​fellowship/​find community in DC!
The demographic is highly Korean/​Chinese… (I am Asian but wanted to go to a «multiethnic church») however, you never feel isolated by those of other ethnicities! No «my Korean parents always said…» or «you know how your Chinese friends are always saying…»
Highly recommended to at least check out!

I’m really happy here. I’ve only been attending since May 2015, the week of moving here from Boston after graduating college. There was an instantaneous sense of warmth. People were so friendly and so eager to reach out to me that I was rather blown away by the generously and genuine welcoming nature. It’s so funny because they’ll include you in email chains for get together a, ask you if you want to run together, tell you to come out to things. It’s so great.
People are very quirky and it’s so diverse here in terms of the personalities. Everyone is so different but because everyone is so different from each other it somehow works so well in really pushing the mission of Christ for the church– to spread the gospel to those around us and abroad. People have so many different strengths here and they play to their strengths. It’s so great to watch people being truly surrendered to Jesus here and live it out for kingdom purposes.
Come join us and don’t hesitate to jump in :) it’s only been three months and I’m lovin it!

GCCC is my first home church and the community have made me feel at home from the very beginning. In fact, on one of my first visits, I was greeted by a tall, handsome and warm male member. Today, he is my husband! The community is incredibly supportive, from celebrating life’s milestones to eating to keeping each other accountable to praying for one another during some of life’s challenging circumstances.
I love this church because the preaching and teaching speak biblical truth. The small groups challenge us, nurture our spiritual walks and keep us accountable. There are classes ranging from discipleship to parenting to marriage that you can take. There are several organized fellowship events that provide opportunities for people to get to know each other better or just to be a regular part of each other’s lives. They usually center around food and sports-can’t get a better combo than that!
I also love that the church is so outward focused. We oftentimes pray for international events, we do a lot of outreach in the local community, we have annual missions trips to Spain and we are starting a new Tyson’s service to expand our reach.
I could go on and on about how wonderful this church is but you’ll have to just check it out for yourself and discover all the gems it holds for you!
