In this provocative six-session Wild at Heart video study, John Eldredge explains how God wants to heal the deep wounds from earlier years that take away a man's confidence and--in some cases--his masculinity. He shows that deep within the heart of every man is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a […]
CANCELLED: Due to many uncontrollable circumstances, we've had to cancel our October Dominican Republic Family Trip. We will be planning another trip for early April 2024 and encourage everyone to consider going then. We are traveling to the Dominican Republic once again to build homes for families in need. This time, we invite anyone 10 […]
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. […]
Join the young adults every Tuesday night in the Worship Center for a rousing game of not-too-competitive volleyball. Adults who don't fit the "young" category are always welcome! In the spring we move outside and play ultimate frisbee at the fairgrounds.
We invite the entire church to join us on Wednesday evenings for a great meal and connection time (it isn't just for those families participating in Wednesday evening programming). Each week we serve a delicious meal suitable for the whole family. All meals will have a dairy- and gluten-free option, and we strive for all […]
Groups are a focus of our church and so it makes sense that our kids would be in them, too! Groups of 4-8 boys or girls meet each week with their leader (preschoolers are all together in one big group). Leaders and kids spend 45 minutes talking about life and God, learning from various curriculum, […]

The goal of the BRICK Bible Foundations Class is to help 6th & 7th grade students develop a greater understanding of the “big picture” of God’s story. Students follow this program for two years, one year focusing on the Old Testament and one year focusing on the New Testament. In 2023 BRICK will focus on […]

We will be accepting donations of new or gently-used winter wear through October 15 for men, women, and children of all sizes. Acceptable items include coats, snow pants, boots, hats, mittens/gloves, scarves/gators, etc. […]
You never really “arrive” at becoming a mature disciple maker. We are all called to continually grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus, to grow in love for others, to get better at blessing those around us and to increasingly share the love of Jesus with everyone. At GREFC we realize this through four key areas: Connect, Equip, Serve & Go!
