Join us as we kick off Missions Month at GCR with CROCKTOBERFEST! Bring your favorite crockpot dish, or any dish placed in a crockpot, to contribute to the Crocktoberfest feast! We’ll have tables set up around the gathering space so you can plug in your crockpot and keep things warm during Bible class and the worship service.

After worship, we’ll enjoy a meal, celebrate the gift of community, and turn our hearts toward God’s mission in the world. Don’t miss this chance to connect around the table and step into a month of prayer, learning, and partnership with what God is doing among the nations.

Sometimes drop-offs in the morning can be a tough time for kids. Let's change that! GCR is continuing its Fist Bump Crew at Emerson Elementary. We show up in the mornings and turn drop-off into a fun time of welcoming the students to school with encouragement and a fist bump. We want to make drop-off fun while making connections with students and staff at Emerson. This year, we are greeting on the first and third Monday of each month, and you are welcome to volunteer at just one or both.

When: Starting September 21, then the first and third Monday of each month (unless that's a holiday, then Tuesday)
Time: 7:00-7:45 am

Moms and sons, grab your comfiest pajamas and join us for a fun night together!

Come enjoy pizza and a movie at GCR! This is a great opportunity for moms and sons to have a great night together, making memories and building connections with each other and other moms and sons!

Baptism is a gift. It is not a legal requirement to meet, a technical ritual to perform, a test to pass or fail, or a strict command to obey just right. It is a gracious gift from God. Baptism is the way to accept and experience everything God longs to give you through Christ.

The focus is not on what WE do in baptism but what GOD is doing. If you or someone you know has never received the gift of baptism, GCR is inviting you to be baptized on Baptism Sunday.

Following the sermon on May 17, all who have never been baptized are invited to receive baptism in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of God’s Holy Spirit.

If you would like to be baptized at GCR on Baptism Sunday or want to know more about baptisms, click below.

GCR’S BACK PARKING LOT

All those who have served in leading the Lord’s Table on Sunday mornings and all those who want to serve, men and women, are invited to attend a short “training” in the GCR Worship Center on May 13 at 5:30 pm. We’ll review our communion practice and the convictions behind it, look at the weekly volunteer process, and offer time to ask questions and experience standing behind the table and serving in this way.

Recharge is a quarterly gathering designed to restore our energy, renew our passion, and keep us rooted in the transforming power of Christian Practices. Think of it as a spiritual boost—a chance to pause, breathe deeply, and let God’s Spirit refresh your soul.

Our next Recharge will be Sunday, April 12th, at 6:30 at GCR. This is open to all. Come expecting encouragement, community, and renewal. (childcare is available)

Easter is the celebration of the moment when the light of God broke through the deepest darkness the world had ever known.

This Easter at GCR, we will celebrate the good news that the light of Christ still shines today. The resurrection of Jesus is more than a historical moment. It is the light that drives away our darkness, the life that renews our souls, and the hope that changes everything.

🕘 Bible Classes for All Ages – 9:00 AM
🕥 Worship Service – 10:15 AM

Join us as we celebrate the risen Christ, the Light of Life, and discover the hope and new life that shines from the empty tomb.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

All are welcome. Come and be a part of this sacred journey.
