About GT Church
Discover GT Church: A Welcoming Assemblies of God Community in Reading, PA
Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, GT Church is a vibrant Assemblies of God congregation where heartfelt worship meets genuine fellowship. More than just a Sunday service, GT Church fosters a spirit-filled environment where individuals and families connect, grow, and serve together.

A Warm, Inclusive Atmosphere
From the moment you step onto campus, you’ll sense the hospitality that defines GT Church. Attendees consistently praise the warm, family-style environment—one that welcomes people of every background, age, and walk of life. The staff and volunteers make inviting newcomers a priority, offering accommodations for families with young children, non-English speakers through ESL support, and those with physical or developmental disabilities. While GT Church grounds itself firmly in its Assemblies of God beliefs—meaning certain doctrinal positions on gender and sexuality reflect a traditional stance—the overwhelming consensus is one of genuine kindness. Many find a place here to be known, accepted, and supported on their spiritual journey.
Inspiring Worship and Engaging Sermons
Worship at GT Church is more than routine—it’s an experience that feeds the soul. From soaring praise music led by talented worship teams to the cherished altar call for prayer and salvation, congregants frequently note how these moments carry an anointing and authenticity often missing elsewhere. Under the leadership of Pastor Scott, messages resonate with passion and relevancy, blending sound biblical teaching with personal stories that leave a lasting impact. “Pastor Scott brought forth a great word about having a hunger for the Word of God,” one attendee shared, while another reflected, “I am always blessed by the anointed sermons.” It’s this consistent quality of preaching and praise that members say sparks spiritual renewal week after week.
Connecting Through Small Groups and Service
Community is at the heart of GT Church, and nowhere is this truer than in its extensive small-group network. With over 70 groups ranging from young adults and parents of toddlers to retirees and global missions teams, there’s a circle for every interest and season of life. These gatherings meet in homes, at the charming on-campus coffee shop, and online—offering flexible ways to build friendships, dive deeper into Scripture, and pray for one another. Beyond small groups, members serve together through local outreach initiatives, counseling ministries, and international partnerships. This vast array of options ensures that every person can find meaningful ways to grow and give back.
A Campus for All Seasons
GT Church’s 60-acre campus in Reading is designed to accommodate growth without losing its community feel. Manicured grounds, family-friendly playgrounds, and a cozy coffee shop tucked between meeting halls invite casual fellowship before and after services. For newcomers, the size can feel a bit daunting—especially if you’re driving in from neighboring towns—but friendly greeters, clear signage, and a robust parking team quickly help you find your way. Families appreciate the well-staffed kids’ wing and teens’ lounge, while adults value multiple gathering spaces that foster intimacy within a larger church body. Whether you’re exploring for the first time or have been here for years, the campus comes alive with people sharing life together.
Service Times, Accessibility, and Stewardship
Currently, GT Church hosts Sunday morning worship with engaging children’s programming and accessible facilities throughout. While many embrace this rhythm, some have expressed a desire for additional service times—especially Saturday evenings—to better accommodate busy schedules. The leadership team listens carefully to these requests, exploring options to expand weekend offerings without stretching volunteers too thin. On the financial front, GT Church encourages faithful tithing and generous giving, with an emphasis on accountability and prayerful stewardship. A volunteer-led finance committee oversees the budget, ensuring that your support directly fuels ministry initiatives, benevolent outreach, and campus maintenance.
