Community
What life together looks like here.
Life Together
A living and transformative community
GCCA is a spiritual proving ground — a place where sincere seekers have chosen to structure their entire lives around the pursuit of God, the teachings of Jesus, and the ongoing refinement of the soul. Our members live and work together on the same land in southern Arizona, in a communal setting where faith is not a weekend practice but the foundation of every day. We consider ourselves a type of new-paradigm religious order.
We are sincere truth seekers, mystics, students, and servants — people from many backgrounds, ages, and walks of life from all over the world, united not by uniformity but by a shared devotion to embodying the fruits of the spirit in how we think, feel, and act. We study Ascension Science, tend the living earth, practice daily spiritual disciplines, and hold one another accountable with honesty and compassion — because we believe that genuine community is one of the most powerful catalysts for soul growth that exists.
All Are Welcome
A place for those still searching
We also have many participants who live in the wider community and join us for special events, services, study groups, volunteer opportunities, and shared meals without living on campus.
Whether you are searching for a Sunday service, a place to ask hard questions, or a community that takes faith seriously — there is room for you here. Come as you are.
