WHY GCF FOR YOU?
1 Corinthians 1:13 “Is Christ divided? (23).. we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, (24) but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
There are multitudes of ministerial organization professing the ministry of Jesus Christ accepting membership with benefits. Each one quite naturally claims legitimacy and correctness in doctrine and purposes. Why then is GCF to be considered as your apostolic covering? The answer from a negative view is that most of these organizations are designed to eliminate certain ministers out and accept only certain others. The very nature of individual diversities of gifting, personality, styles, and callings have resulted in expulsions and even labeling as “rebels and heretics”. GCF supports the belief that diversity can be accepted without adversity with unity in the Holy Spirit. All ministers in agreement with sound biblical truths can flow together as the one in purpose of the message of the His Cross. Our hope is to provide all unique ministries opportunity to join together in a corporate entity with sovereignty and liberty. The perimeter of protection of being covered be an apostolic office provides not only defense, but also comfort from isolation. All ministers should be vigilant against the stratagems of Satan primarily in his seeking those separate and alone. GCF offers you the option of connection without any concern of ecclesiastical control over your uniqueness in calling and vision.
1 Corinthians 2:2 “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”
