About Us

Welcome

We’re so glad you visited our website today! If you want to know more about Greater Alton Church, the best way, of course, is to visit our Sunday service and experience it for yourself. To give you an idea of what you’ll find, before you stop by, here's just a little about who we are.

Worship

Worship

At Greater Alton Church, we believe worship is a lifestyle; not just a Sunday-thing. Our weekly gathering is crucial to living that lifestyle of worship. When we gather and worship together, we are refreshed and refocused. We draw closer to God, learn from each other, and encourage each other to acts of love, kindness, and service to the world around us. We pray together and seek God’s purpose, power, and provisions. We take communion together to remind ourselves not only of what Jesus has done for us through His death and resurrection, but also that He is coming back to make all things new! When we assemble as His people to worship Him, we experience a little taste of what it will be like when we finally dwell fully in His presence. It's that little taste of heaven that fills us, and motivates us to live a life of worship while we are apart.

Friendship

Friendship

At Greater Alton Church you can find the kind of friendships the Bible calls fellowship. These friendships will provide the healing relationships that God desires for you; helping to shape your character and make you more like Jesus. We believe friendships should go beyond mere 'hellos' and 'handshakes', to heart-felt love — Love that serves as a bond; holding us together in good times… as well as bad!

Service

Service

At Greater Alton Church we believe serving God means serving people. We all need a little help from time to time. At GAC we have both specialized ministries and small groups dedicated to providing service and training people to serve like Jesus taught us. Our specialized ministries bring servants with special gifts of service together with those who are dealing with specific hurts, habits, and/or hang-ups. Our small groups serve by connecting believers, teaching them to walk in step with the Spirit, and equipping them to serve others, both in the church and the community.

If any of that sounds like what you’re looking for, we hope you’ll stop by and worship with us. We meet every Sunday morning at 10:00 am, and we'd love to have you join us as we sing praises to God, take communion to remember Jesus, pray together, and hear a message from God’s Word. While you’re there, be sure to stop by the Welcome Center in the small dome. There you’ll find friendly people willing to answer questions, provide you with information about upcoming events, or introduce you to our ministers or small group leaders.

And if you’d like to hear the sermon again - or any past sermon podcast - you may listen online, right here at this website after 5pm every Sunday.

Thanks for visiting our website today! And may God bless you!!!

Stories of Life Change

I have been to a lot of churches in my life, and every denomination there is. All of the churches are good and welcoming in their own ways, but GAC is so different!
The people are very warm, kind hearted, and make you feel like you belong... even on your first visit! GAC has been an answer to my prayers... and then some! I have to let everyone know how AWESOME this church really is!

I have been coming to this church for a few years now, and I am so grateful God put people in my way to lead me here. I have really found a home through GAC, but more importantly I have learned what a relationship with God truly is. No one is perfect, and we don't claim to be. I have never been surrounded by a group of people who all are desperately searching for God's truth in their lives.

Love this place! A couple years ago I met so many people who chose to love-up on a truly broken girl when I didn't have much left. These people showed me how to have my own relationship with Christ, and I continue to do so. No church is perfect, of course, but I love that this church is intentional and on a mission to serve and live a purposeful life that is pleasing to God. There are a lot of great ministries for children and college-aged students!

Greater Alton Church is a Church of Christ.

(Every Church of Christ congregation is independent, and you’ll find a variety of worship styles and organizational models among them.)

Some distinctive features of Greater Alton Church:

 Our worship is contemporary Christian, sung acapella style,  and is led by a worship team of men and women.

Our worship services are open to the public, and designed to minister to both members and guests — young and old alike.

We encourage participation in Small-Groups for connecting to the community of Christ; learning how to apply the teachings of Jesus, and training to serve the needs of others.
