Liturgy

GSLC follows a fixed order of worship that includes the Gathering, Readings (the Revised Common Lectionary), a sermon, Communion, and a Sending.

Find a sample order here.

Music

The GSLC Band and piano accompany sung liturgy, hymns, and songs.

Practices

LGBTQIA+ folks often lead worship.

Children help serve Communion (using gluten-free bread and juice).

At the close of worship, the congregation is invited to participate in Community Conversations—a brief, informal time of personal reflection and shared dialogue. These small group discussions draw on themes from the service, offering space to listen, speak, and connect with others in meaningful ways. Participation is entirely optional. Those who find this kind of interaction uncomfortable are welcome to step away without hesitation. Still, these conversations are a vital part of how community is built and deepened at GSLC, and all are encouraged to remain if willing.

Get Involved

Worship volunteer roles include lector/petitioner and communion prep team. Learn more about each here.

GSLC welcomes musicians of all kinds to share their gifts during worship. Whether it’s a solo, duet, instrumental, or another offering, special music is a cherished part of our Sunday gatherings. To contribute to the musical life of the congregation, please reach out!

Seasonal opportunities to join the choir are also available throughout the year.
