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.

For the 2025 Advent season, we will be continuing in Acts, focusing on Chapters 8 & 9, highlighting God’s gift to humanity through stories of the spread of the Gospel beyond Jerusalem.

Live-streamed online at 9:00 am on Sundays

Micah Labovitch - November 16, 2025

Appointed Witnesses (Acts 6:1-15)

Acts: The Living Witness of Jesus
  • Watch
  • Listen

Our message today highlights an important new role in the early church, the role of Deacons. Unlike the apostles whose primary role is prayer and preaching the Word, the Deacons are to oversee the care of the congregation. This allows the church to grow even more, but with new growth comes more opposition.

Ken Abramson - June 28, 2020

Becoming People of the Towel

Becoming People of the Towel
  • Watch
  • Listen

Jesus at the last supper showed us what a servant's heart should be. As we give God more Lordship over our lives and mature in our faith, we should find ourselves dropping our selfish attitudes and moving toward a servant-like attitude toward God and others.

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!
