We break down the elements of GUTK small groups by ministry:
Praise & Worship Ministry
We provide open-door opportunities for the community to participate in GUTK praise and worship services as well as encompassing workshops, retreats, conferences, etc. The purpose is to provide relevant worship experiences which ground the community in spirit and in the word of truth through music, humor, drama, dance, spoken word, etc. This ministry is for all age groups interested in participating. Praise & Worship activities are led by Ministers, Members, and Non-Members of GUTK.
Media Ministry
The purpose of the media ministry here at GUTK is to deliver the revelations of God to our visually-driven, ever-changing world through the use of technology and media, and to equip other ministries of the church to use digital and electronic media as a worship and outreach tool. This ministry not only provides the technical support required for our worship services, but will also record various events, lectures and sermons which are made available on DVD and for viewing or podcasting from our web site. This effort will be led by Ministers and may involve Members, and Volunteers of GUTK. For more information click here.
Spiritual Awareness Ministry
GUTK provides educational experiences pertaining to exercising spiritual authority over false doctrine. These experiences GUTK provides may come in many different forms such as study groups, informal group discussions, presentations, seminars, and workshops. This effort will be led by Ministers and may involve Members, and Volunteers.
GUTK Open House Services
Unlike traditional church services GUTK will host leaders of various belief systems (Pastors, Imams, Free-Thinkers, etc.) that come and give lectures regarding their respective religion/ spiritual practice they represent. At the end of each lecture attendees are allowed the opportunity to ask questions during the “question and answer” period. The purpose of the “Open House Service” is to provide the opportunity for people of varying theological backgrounds to come together to discuss their belief/ spiritual system; while identifying common ground that is shared among the factions of religion present within our community. This effort will be led by Ministers and Members.
Community Discussions & Debate Ministry
Discussions and Debates will be held and open to member and non-members. GUTK provides an opportunity to discuss controversial issues surrounding religion and the various belief systems present in our community today. For example: One faction of Christianity may believe we are under the law of the old testament, while another faction of Christianity believes that we are no longer under the laws of the old testament. GUTK discussion and debate forums allows members and non-members to challenge doctrine and belief system(s) by bringing forth factual information that challenges the status quo with the overall aim of attaining the truth. This effort will involve Ministers, Members and Non-Members of GUTK.
Women’s Ministry
We provide opportunities for women to connect with other women of the same and/or different theological backgrounds, to encourage each other in sisterly love as they journey, study, and expand their common ground while growing in the grace and knowledge of God’s revealed truth. This ministry promotes fellowship, and character building among women; as well as serve as mentors for young female members of GUTK and community. This effort will involve Ministers, Members and Non-Members of GUTK.
Men’s Ministry
We provide opportunities for men to connect with other men of the same and/or different theological backgrounds, to encourage each other in brotherly love as they journey, study, and expand their common ground while growing in the grace and knowledge of God’s revealed truth. This ministry promotes fellowship, and character-building among men as well as serves as mentors for young male members of GUTK and community. This effort will involve Ministers, Members, and Volunteers.
