Our desire is to cultivate an engaging worship culture. The Presence of God is the distinguishing mark of His people (Exodus 33:16) and our longing is to be marked by His presence. Services include times of quietly waiting on the Lord - spiritually savoring the sacred atmosphere. Other times may be vocal with collective praise as worshippers are invited to spontaneously worship the Father from their heart. Some shout with joy, some are quiet and reserved. Others are openly emotional during times of prayer and worship. No sincere worshipper should feel out of place at GT. We encourage you to pursue God with your whole heart.
The Word of God is what changes our lives and convicts our heart. At GT you will be challenged through a relevant message that is prophetically timed for what God is doing in our midst. We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God and has answers to every situation we face in life. We believe the Bible is without error. We believe there is only One True God–revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity). We have four core beliefs: Salvation, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing and the Second Coming of Christ.
At GT we believe we are called not to simply come to church to engage in worship and the word - but we are compelled to go to the world. Jesus said, "Go into all the world and make disciples." James 1:27 also says, "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress." We are commissioned to carry the Kingdom of God wherever we go. A major part of missions at GT is the City of Refuge in Jamaica. The City of Refuge is our children's home in Kingston, Jamaica that houses 50+ children and provides food, education, clothing and a place to call home.
