About GRCC
We desire to be a Jesus centered community where...
The lost, broken, and those in bondage are safe to come and receive restoration, healing, and freedom.
People are free to be themselves without masks, fear of rejection, or being judged.
People are growing in their walk with Jesus through relational discipleship as we invest in, encourage, pray for, and learn from each other.
The good news about what Jesus has done for us is evident by our life and love for each other.
Each member of GRCC is equipped and empowered to minister to each other and the world.
