AI Summary

The congregation fosters a family-friendly atmosphere with a monthly "Family Feast" potluck on the first Sunday after worship, a staffed nursery, private nursing room, and a Children's Sermon for ages 4–10; it is also planning a Rainforest Falls Vacation Bible School for summer 2026. Those seeking solid teaching will appreciate an extensive, paginated sermon archive with downloadable audio and adult Sunday School recordings (Sunday School meets 9:30–10:15), plus regular prayer gatherings like First Saturday Prayer. Small-group life is active, with men's and women's Bible studies (the women's group meets 1st & 3rd Wednesdays at 7:00 PM), multiple home-based studies, and a Nokesville/Catlett area fellowship; the church is governed by a Session and board of deacons, and membership begins with an Inquirer’s Class and Session meeting. Pastor Stephen Baran (installed 2024, Westminster Seminary California grad) leads alongside Children's Ministry Director Michelle Maher and Nursery Director Janet Cooper; the church posts a child protection policy, supports missionary and church-planting work overseas, and welcomes inquiries at sec@gpcweb.org.
