Church Camp: Camp Signups are LIVE! Please follow the link for more information and to sign up. We also have an option to sign up in person at the table by the welcome center. Please sign up as soon as possible so we can start working on some of the behind-the-scenes planning.
Testimony Sunday: Next Sunday, May 25th, we will have “Testimony Sunday”. Please consider prayerfully if you have something to share with the church body!
Contact Info: If you are new to GCF or some of your contact information has changed, please use this link to ensure we have up-to-date contact information for you.
Ministries Breaking for Summer: As we approach the summer months, we wanted to communicate which ministries will be taking a break and which ones will continue through the summer.
Our Women’s Bible studies, Men’s Fellowship, YJAM, and Growing in Love Marriage Group will be on break until sometime in September.
The youth group will continue through May with their normal schedule, then they will meet a few times over the summer at Hager Park with a couple of other special events sprinkled in.
Our other ministries (Young at Heart Life Group, Meerman Life Group, & Night of Prayer) will continue through the summer unless otherwise noted.
Baby Dedication: We will be having a “baby” dedication on June 8th, during the service. If you have a child/children that you would like to dedicate, please contact secretary@gcfchurch.net. We will need the name, date of birth, parents’ names, and 2 pictures of each child that is getting dedicated.
2025 Graduates: We would like to acknowledge and pray for our graduating seniors (both high school and college) during our service on June 15th. If you have a 2025 graduate, please email Kim at secretary@gcfchurch.net with your graduate's name and a photo.
Church Emails: To ensure you do receive important emails from the church, please make sure to add secretary@gcfchurch.net to your contact list and mark it as “not spam”. Additionally, if you would like to be removed from any of our email lists, please unsubscribe by using the link under my signature rather than deleting/blocking our emails.
