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

Chris Brown - November 12, 2023

The Church

The DNA of a Disciple
  • Watch
  • Listen

The church is a collection of believers called to a specific purpose, which is to bring the gospel to the nations and to love and care for other believers. All believers are part of the universal church - all believers throughout the world. We may also be a part of a local church. When we become believers, the Holy Spirit starts transforming us to look more like Jesus and also gifts us with specific traits that have a specific purpose and are to be used to build up others in the faith.

Scripture References: Romans 12:1-8, John 15:19, Ecclesiastes 4:12, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, 1 Corinthians 14:1-25, Ephesians 4:1-32

From Series: "The DNA of a Disciple"

What does it look like to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Often in the Christian life, we can make major errors when we slip away from the “basic foundations” of what it means to follow King Jesus. To just be His disciple. This Fall, leaders in our church will take us “under the microscope,” examining some of the core elements of what it means to be a disciple, grow as disciples, and make disciples of Jesus Christ. So we invite you to join us, explore with us, and learn with us this Fall!

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!
