Welcome to GREFC

Welcome. We’re so glad you’re here. We are a Christian church in Grand Rapids, MN.   Everyone here is like you. We have joy, we have fears that keep us up at night, we experience pain, we face challenges, and we’re all searching for love. We don’t have all the answers. But we do know someone who has the answers we’re all seeking and we do know how our story ends. If you would like that for yourself, then walk through this site and learn more about us.  Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back often.

Living On Mission

1 Peter 2:9 through 3:16 talks about living in a hostile world and living your daily lives as though you are missionaries in a foreign land. That is the basis for our community groups.
