We are a Church that loves God & people
Greater Discipleship Center is a ministry of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.). Here you will find a church that seeks to glorify God through the transformation of the individual (salvation), the believer (discipleship), the church (recapturing the biblical essence), and community (outreaching ministry). This takes place through deepening biblical understanding through Spirit guidance and spiritual disciplines for the purpose of deepening our relationship with God. Our disciples share the love and life of Christ in their families, workplaces, and communities through purposeful ministry and example.

Our History
GDC was organized in 1988 as Cornerstone Fellowship Church of God. It met in Fox Hill until 2018, when the congregation relocated to LaSalle Ave. As a new location was needed to fulfill the vision, members also decided a name change was in order to more accurately reflect who we are. Having entered a new season with a new vision, we desire that people know the heart of this ministry when they hear the name of the ministry.

A Heart After Jesus a new book from Dave Brooks
The spirit of sisterhood is seen and felt in the fervent prayer of thousands of girls who faithfully uphold nations where injustice and darkness rage out of control. It is seen and felt in young women being inspired by the wisdom and grace of their mothers and the women ahead of them in this journey of life. For insight into the breadth of the Sisterhood.
