Community Groups
Community groups are ongoing groups that meet from September- May. They generally meet in homes or at the church. Some are formed by geographic location, and some by stage of life. They are designed to help you connect relationally and grow spiritually. We have groups for married and single adults, young adults, men, women, and parents of kids with disabilities.
Click here to see all of the current open community groups. If you see one that would be a good fit for you, you can “request to join” that group, and the group leader will follow up with you within a few days.
If you do not see a group that will work for you, please click here to complete the Community Group Interest Form, and a GFC staff member will follow up with you within a few days.

Parents of Workers Abroad is a monthly support group for parents or grandparents of those serving overseas. Family members of global workers left behind can feel a sense of loss when their loved ones are in a foreign field.

As we seek to be a church that is moving towards Jesus, I believe that what is going to make us people who experience deep transformation in Jesus is prayer. And what is going to make us people of prayer is not insight but practice. But for many Christians, prayer feels intimidating, and while we may desire to develop a practice of prayer, we don’t know where to begin. At this important event, we will provide guidance and practical resources to help you begin cultivating a deep, rich life of prayer with God.
When: Saturday, January 18 from 8 am to 12 pm.
