Bible Studies & Prayer
Weekly Bible Studies
Bible studies are a core part of GCF. We gather together once a week to study the Bible and to be in community.
Currently, we have three weekly bible studies:
- Tuesday small group (7-9:30pm) led by Adam and Sarah-Rose
- Wednesday small group (7-10pm) led by Andrew and Calvin
- Thursday small group (7:30-9:30pm) led by Alec

Psalms and Encouragement (weekly prayer)
Bible Psalms & Encouragement is a group of graduate students and faculty that meets Tuesday mornings during the academic year in Bond Chapel from 7:30-8:00 am. In the tradition of morning prayer, we read Scripture aloud together, share prayer requests, and pray corporately. As the Psalmist describes “awaking the dawn”, so we offer praise, thanksgiving, and supplications to the Lord as the first act of our day. We combine Scripture readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament with both written and open intercessory prayer in a way that is ecumenical and accessible to all.
