The ladies' ministry is designed to complement
the vision and mission statement of GFC. We desire to see the
women of GFC to be fulfilled in their Christian life through
fellowship with other Christian women and studying the Word of
God together. Through Women of G.R.A.C.E., we hope to see women's
lives changed, enhanced and growing stronger in Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-10 capsulizes three main points of emphasis that Women of G.R.A.C.E. will strive to highlight in the lives of our women. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them".
In addition to the bible studies, we plan to give the ladies opportunites of fellowship during times of outside activities. Women of G.R.A.C.E. generally meets on the third Saturday of the month. However, check the monthly calendars for the meeting date and time.
For such a time as this, God is raising up men in the church to take a more active role in ministry, family and the work place. It takes courage to stand and be a Christian man in today's society.
Our men's ministry is built upon the principles in 1 Corinthians 16:13, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong." NIV. The Apostle Paul challenged the men of Corinth to "be" (present tense and actively working in their life, not for some time in the future). The goal of the men's ministry is to challenge one another to grow, give encouragement and pray one for another.
The men meet monthly for breakfast and a time of teaching and discussion. Normally meetings are scheduled for the fourth Saturday of the month. However, just as the women's minstry, check the monthly calendar. As a developing ministry, we're expanding to develop more activities. We encourage all men to
attend to build relationships, be challenged and be Men of Courage.
