About Glendale Christian Church
Glendale Christian Church has existed for over 150 years. We are located just 8 miles from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, one of Kentucky's fastest-growing cities. We are a people committed to the mission to "Lead people to love and follow Jesus." We do that through a variety of outreach opportunities, fellowship, and worship.
The town of Glendale itself is a very small town, and Glendale Christian Church is very much the center of the community. Our facilities allow us to serve as the primary gathering place for many events in town. GCC is truly the heart of Glendale, in the heart of Glendale.
More than anything else, GCC is a family. We believe that nobody should walk through struggles alone-that we have been called to carry one another's burdens. We worship together, love one another, and stay on mission together.
