Follow the footsteps of Paul and the members of the first-century church in a journey throughout Greece. This experience will lead GCC travelers on a journey toward becoming conversant in ancient paradigms that predated Christianity and were deeply entrenched during Paul’s ministry (and for centuries afterward). The divinely inspired writings of Luke, Paul, Peter, James, John, and Jude will acquire new intellectual and spiritual relevance as travelers read them, perhaps for the first time, through the eyes of a first-century audience.
