Pastor Search
In early 2025, Lead Pastor Jason Gallman announced that he would not be returning to his full-time role following medical leave, though his condition had not worsened—he remains under steady treatment for his cancer. This fall, Jason has sensed God leading him back into the classroom, and is now teaching English at Franklin Community High School. He and his family remain involved at CCG as faithful congregants and volunteers.
To help guide us through this transition, Brad Barmore has been serving faithfully as Interim Lead Pastor. This fall, Brad is taking a planned 90-day sabbatical for rest, renewal, and family care—something he had been preparing for before this leadership change. During this time, church operations, preaching, and ministry will continue under the leadership of staff and elders.
Meanwhile, the elders have begun an open search for our next Lead Pastor. We are prayerfully trusting God’s provision and timing as He leads us into the next chapter of ministry together.

Get involved?
Fast & Pray
We invite you to join the staff, Elders and leaders of our church in praying and fasting on Thursdays. Every Thursday you’re welcome to attend a time of prayer from 12:00-12:30pm at the church. If you are unable to attend in person, email Dean Bouzeos in order to attend via a Zoom meeting.
Volunteer
While we are looking for a new lead pastor, the work of the Gospel has not stopped. As much now as any other time we need people giving their time and talent to the work of the Church. Signup here or contact Delora Craig for more information.

The Elders hold a public meeting that all CCG members are welcome to join. Meetings are held at the church from 7-8 pm on the second Tuesday of each month.
