Our Central Ministry
The primary activity of this church is our worship of God. And that worship is displayed as we corporately share in the reading and teaching of the Bible, prayer, and songs of praise. This is the primary means of receiving God's grace in our lives. Everything else we do as a fellowship is secondary.
Ministries that are by the whole church and for the whole church include Biblical education from birth to adult, weeknight small group "Discipleship Groups", music ministries, men's and women's ministries, nursery, children, youth ministry, Biblical counseling, and more.
Ministries
Nursery
The goal of GCC's Nursery is to provide a loving environment that is clean and safe for children (infants – 36 months). By God’s grace, we strive for the Nursery environment to be saturated with Biblical truths and God-glorifying interactions between volunteers and the children. While parents attend Sunday School, we desire to partner with parents in their God-given responsibility to train their children.
Children's Ministries
Our children’s ministry seeks to equip both parents and children for the work of the ministry. Our goal for our children is to raise a godly seed to mature adulthood. Children are a gift from the Lord and parents are too. We come together here to cooperate in ministry to the whole family.
Youth Group
The youth group at Grace Covenant Church seeks to transition teens into mature adulthood and full participation within the body of Christ. This group applies God’s word to the age-specific concerns of grade 7 to age 18, but we encourage everyone, especially parents, to take an active role in this important stage of Christian education.
Adult Sunday School
Adult Sunday school is one of the primary ways that Christian Education is accomplished in the church, providing focused times of more in-depth Bible study. We are currently taking a Summer break from classes.

Men’s Ministries
The goal of Men’s Discipleship here at GCC is to develop godly individuals, husbands, fathers, and coworkers oriented around the person of Christ. This ministry is open to and includes all GCC males since it shares the church’s overall aim of Unity to Maturity in Christ. The purpose is for GCC men to encourage one another in the context of mutually sharpening, gospel orientated relationships.
Women’s Ministries
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." ~ Titus 2:3-5

At Grace Covenant Church, we want to be careful not to compromise the work of the missionaries we support. One way to accomplish this is to not list them publicly on the website.
