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).
Adult Education
We offer adults two times of deeper learning in a year-long curriculum in the regular rhythm of our church. Our Sunday morning Adult Education class is at 10:30 am during the second service. Our Wednesday night class, which follows the 3-year Gospel Project curriculum, meets at 6:00 pm. Each class occurs while kids are in their programming, making it an easy and natural time for adults to dig in and learn!

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.

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.
