Ministries at Granite Creek
Ministries are the heart of what we do and who we are at Granite Creek!
Serve others: Ministries are a way to serve God and others by spreading the message of Jesus Christ. This can be done through preaching, volunteering, or leading a congregation.
Build relationships: Ministries help people develop relationships with each other and with the church. Small groups can help people feel a sense of belonging and strengthen the church.
Foster discipleship: Ministries teach and train others in the Bible and practical theology. The goal is to create mature believers who can disciple others.
Provide support: Ministries offer care, help, and support to people in need, such as those who are sick, old, or experiencing financial difficulties.
Honor God: Excellence in ministry honors God and inspires people.
Share the faith: Ministries share the message of faith with the broader community.
Growth Groups
Growth Groups are a place to develop meaningful relationships, be in an environment of discipling and nurturing, have a testing ground to develop leadership skills, and a place to hold each other accountable to God, as we provide a safe place for people to know God in a deeper way and be known by others in the group.
Growth Groups offer a safe place to connect with other believers in fellowship. Our purpose is simple - to grow in our understanding of God and our role in His plan for our life. It is our firm belief that life change happens best in community. We believe that when people gather in groups with a shared mission to pursue God, to love one another, and to serve others, God tends to show up and do amazing things!
There are many types of groups, and room for more ideas. There are Bible Study Groups, Men’s Groups, Women’s Groups, Interest Groups, Marriage Groups and Events, and topical studies. Many of our groups choose a topic, and meet for 7 - 12 weeks, depending on the area of study.

Family Ministry
Granite Creek's Vision is to see families transformed by Heaven, so we focus our ministries on strengthening the family unit.
We equip families with tools that feed the mind, body, soul and spirit. We offer practical classes and workshops on premarital, marriage and parenting.
In addition, we encourage families to grow in the Spirit through prayer, worship and the practice of the Spiritual gifts.
