Welcome to the Giant Church Inc Family
One of the most difficult parts of our whole Giant Church Inc experience is dealing with the questions I still ask myself. How in the world did this happen? Why did I not see sooner? Why didn’t I trust my gut? And the hardest question of all: when I did see, why was I unwilling…

Moses brings us our Monday School this week. “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 Psalm 90 is a prayer written by Moses, the one who led God’s people out of Egypt, through the miraculously parted Red Sea, to the edge of the Promised Land.…
