In addition to our regular Large Group and Small Group meetings, GCF organizes other activities throughout the course of the year to help students grow in their faith and connect with one another.
RETREATS
Every fall during Columbus Day weekend, and every winter during President's Day weekend, GCF goes on a retreat. We usually team with Christian Fellowships from Harvard and other Boston schools. Retreats are where we sit back and relax from our everyday pressures, get to know one another better, and immerse ourselves in God's word and spirit. Our favorite retreat location is Toah Nipi Christian Retreat Center in Rindge, NH.
In addition to our fall and winter retreats, we also have a leadership retreat at the end of summer. Not only is it great fun, but also we get to know more about our strengths and weaknesses, and how we can use our talents and interests to serve God's kingdom. Come with us and help shape GCF in the next year!

MARK MANUSCRIPT
Mark Manuscript studies are a Spring semester tradition in GCF…
It is the best Bible study you have ever been in or your money back*! ;)
(Mark Manuscript is not a small group--it is strictly a Bible study)
The purpose of MM is to get to know Jesus--not just know about Jesus--in a new and intimate way.... Ask anyone who has done it before if you can, and here is what some of your friends and GCF alumni have said about Mark Manuscript:
"Since doing Mark Manuscript, every time that I hear a quote from Mark in a sermon or article I get very excited. It's exciting because I feel that I can put that verse into the greater context of the Gospel story and appreciate how it ties into the bigger picture. It has definitely inspired me to study the whole bible with the manuscript method. It is 100% worth the time!"--Corban Swain
"Through Mark Manuscript I observed many things about Jesus that I had not been careful enough to observe before. It helped me form a more complete (sometimes comforting, and sometimes frightening) picture of our Lord, based on scriptures, rather than my own imagination. I think everyone can benefit from this fresh reading of Mark."--John Sie Yuen Lee
*Mark Manuscript studies are, in fact, free. No cash will be
refunded in punishment for having a geeky sense of humor.
