The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.

Your Church needs your help!

God has given each of us gifts that He wants us to use to build his church and advance the kingdom of God. Will you pray about how you can give back to God and GFCC through service in ministry. We have several ministry opportunities coming open in January and we desperately need volunteers. Will you step up to the plate? Give the church a call and schedule a time to talk with the pastor.
