About George Community: George Community Church (GCC) is a
nondenominational, Bible-believing congregation dedicated to shining the
light of Jesus in its community. Founded in an old schoolhouse in 1969, the
church moved into a new building in 1981 with 164 in attendance. GCC
offers Sunday services, communion, women’s bible studies, men’s study
breakfasts, Sunday school, harvest parties, community picnics and vacation
bible school. With 6 pastors plus interim pastors since its inception, GCC
currently has approximately 25 members (plus additional regular
attendees) aged 10-80, as of 2021. The church is located in a beautiful
community 20 minutes from Estacada and Sandy, with an 8-mile loop
consisting of approximately 300 homes.
