Small Group Opportunity

 

During the Spring & Summer of 2019, GRCC members & visitors were invited to join one of our small groups as a new ministry opportunity. We have established three fellowship groups which generally met twice each month in homes in the North Dallas, Garland and Richardson areas. We enjoyed fellowship that promoted sharing of our needs, experiences, praying for one another and often the discussion of God’s Word together. Our meetings are in an informal setting that sometimes include a meal or light snack.

 

If you want to find out more information or are interested in participating, please contact:

From the Elders

 

Membership

Want to know more about membership?

 

"Why should I bother with church membership? The phrase 'church membership' isn't found in the Bible."

 

The response to this question can be found in the Path to Membership Packet found on our website.  Check it out and visit with an Elder. We'd love to discuss this further.
