10 Reasons You Need to be in a Grace Group
Small groups have been a major part of church life since the time of Christ. At GFC, we call them Grace Groups. We believe every Christian should be a part of a small group. Here are ten reasons YOU need to be part of a small group:
1. Jesus is our example and He was in a small group.
2. The early church in the book of Acts met in small groups.
Take the 30-Day Prayer Challenge!
Thursday, May 6th is the National Day of Prayer. We are hosting the official Grand Prairie event and I encourage you to attend.
But more than that, we want to challenge you to pray every day for the next 30 days for whatever it is you need God to do in you or for you or through you. Maybe it's for a personal need or maybe it's for someone else, but pick something big that will only happen with God's supernatural intervention.
Multi-ethnic, multi-cultural or both?
Grace Fellowship Church is a multi-ethnic church, but we are also multi-cultural. What's the difference?
Multi-ethnic means that our church is composed of people from different ethnic backgrounds. At the beginning of 2010, the ethnic makeup of GFC is:
53% - White
30% - African American
15% - Hispanic
2% - Asian
Multi-cultural means that our services include various cultural distinctives of the different ethnicities that make up our church. For instance, our music is mainly contemporary, but we also sing gospel songs
Welcome to our blog
We are very excited about our new website – not just for the amazing new look (thanks Bob Hedlund!), but also for the new additions like being able to listen to our sermons online and read this blog.
For those who are not familiar with this – the word “blog” is the short version of the phrase “web log.” We will post regular entries of our thoughts, commentary on currents events, and updates on our church. You will be able to leave comments that respond to our entry or entries that have been posted by others.
