Sharing Life Together
As the saying goes, connection and growth happen best in circles, not rows.
Groups are a great way to meet people, develop relationships, grow spiritually, and make a larger church seem small.

Finishing Well.
“What does it mean to finish well in the latter stages of my life?”
Finishing Well is an informal GFC men’s group that will explore through guided discussion the various facets of life that men face in their season of retirement. Designed for men over 50 years old, this six-part series looks at practical challenges (and insights) that come with the God-given stewardship of our lives and families.
You have a choice of two class times: Monday mornings 10:00-11:15am or Tuesday evenings 7:00-8:15pm at GFC. Groups will begin meeting in Fall 2022. We will follow up with you with more details as we get closer to the start date!

Parents of Workers Abroad is a gathering for parents or grandparents of those serving overseas in missions work.
Family members of global workers left behind can feel a sense of loss when their loved ones are on a foreign field. Often there are feelings of gratitude for children obedient to God, mixed with the real sense of loss when they leave, even for those who have prayed for God to send workers into the harvest. This group seeks to provide fellowship, resources, and support with others who understand this unique life circumstance.
When: Meets the second Monday of each month, 6:30-8:00pm. This is an open group, join any time.
Where: GFC, Elementary Wing
God invites us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). We are also encouraged to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Praying for each other is an indispensable part of caring for one another. Prayer groups meet at GFC on Fridays at 7am and Sundays at 8am, but you can also join our prayer email list to pray for others from home! Email Ashlee White at awhite@gfcnow.com to be added to the distribution list.
These weekly prayer groups are open to anyone who would like to join together and pray.

Young Adult/College Groups (18 – early 30s) We believe that God has designed us for relationships and through those relationships, the Spirit of God changes our hearts from the inside out. Throughout the month, small groups meet in homes across the Tri-Cities to form meaningful connections as we dive into God’s Word together.
