Whether you’re a single in your 20’s or 30’s, married with a few kiddos, empty nesters, or a wise senior, we have a place for you to be with others in the community of believers here at GREFC. The ministries of our church exist to help us fulfill the Great Commandment: To love God (Matthew 22:37-40) and the Great Commission: To love others (Matthew 28:19-20).
Men’s Ministry
Men need opportunities to meet other men and grow in biblical knowledge and disciple-making capabilities. Community is built through special events, like fishing outings and live streamed conferences. Men’s Study Groups offer a chance to grow deeper in love with the Lord and grow disciple making relationships.

Groups Ministry
Life is better in community.
While Sunday morning church services are an important gathering time, it’s hard to know how someone is really doing if you only see them for a few minutes in passing once a week.
We want people to experience real life-on-life discipleship – with all the laughter and mess, joy and pain, extraordinary and mundane that goes with it. Which is why we encourage everyone to be in a group.
We have several group types to choose from. We encourage everyone to find one that suits where they are in the spiritual journey.
- Micro Groups (3-4 people)
- Mentoring Relationships (one-on one)
- Community Groups (3-4 families/couples)
- Titus Tables (women) – 4 women who meet monthly
- Short-Term Groups/Studies

Prayer Chain
One of the most practical and helpful things you can do for someone else is to pray for them. We have a prayer chain established to be sure that people who have a prayer request are being covered in prayer by our congregation.
Prayer requests are shared via email. All requests for prayer are considered confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside the prayer chain unless given permission to do so.
To submit a prayer request electronically please click HERE. To be a prayer warrior on the prayer chain, click HERE.
