Welcome to our messages page, where you can hear relevant, encouraging and thought provoking teaching from the truths of the Bible.

Our Current Sermon Series

While history has traditionally seen Acts simply as stories about the Apostles – we now see the book is so much more. It is certainly an account of the eleven disciples after Jesus is raised from the dead, but even more so, it is an account of the early Christians: an account of the Holy spirit, an account of the early church, and most significantly, the account of the continued work of Jesus Christ and God Himself, bringing His living witness to the ends of the Earth through His people. So, come join us this year as we  explore how the Gospel of Christ first changed the world, and as we ourselves learn what it means to let that same gospel change our lives and our world, even today.

Live-streamed online at 9:00 am on Sundays

We Value When You Grow Closer To Jesus

Core Values
  • Watch
  • Listen

Our fourth core value is Our Growth. When we accept Christ, we all start as spiritual infants. And just like babies, not growing is not good. In fact, if you're not growing your dying. There's no middle ground. You may squeak into heaven, but you'll be like a dying plant, desiccated and withered. In today's sermon, you'll hear 10 ways we're supposed to grow that indicate signs of life in the believer.

Scripture References: 1 Peter 1:1-25, 1 Peter 2:1-25, 1 Peter 3:1-22, 1 Peter 4:1-19, 1 Peter 5:1-14, 2 Peter 1:1-21, 2 Peter 2:1-22, 2 Peter 3:1-18

From Series: "Core Values"

Just as the roots of a massive tree create the foundation of and provide the life-giving force for the whole organism, a church’s core values undergird everything it does. Our values guide us as we seek to share the Gospel with a hurting world, as we make disciples who look more and more like Jesus, and as we bless and love others, growing the Kingdom of God in our community. We’ll hear from each of our Elders as they share what each of our Core Values mean to them.

Our Vision

Faith is a Journey

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!
