Community Groups
Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, God hates loneliness.
You were created to experience life with other people, which is why we encourage
you to get into a community group.
Life is better together!
Why join a
Community Group?
Community Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings in the synagogues, as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This “each other” is called His Church. Thus, we intentionally strive toward community through men’s and women’s groups, home gatherings, and other personal settings.
What is a Community Group?
A community group is a group of three or more people who gather each week in a home, workplace, or online. In a group you’ll hang out, study the Word, and pray together. Groups come in all shapes and sizes — married couples, singles, men, women, kids, no kids, workplace, under 20, over 40 — the list goes on. No matter where you are in life, there’s a group for you.

Youth Ministry
The vision of the GVF youth ministry is to mentor and equip our teens to develop a faith that exists outside of the church building. A walk with Christ that is dynamic, lived out, and shared beyond the four walls of the church.

Know God

Grow In Jesus
2 Peter 3:18 (ESV) ”But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
Go In Jesus
Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”
