At Grace Covenant, we minister the Gospel primarily through the means of grace God gives His church, which are the Word, Sacraments and Prayer. These in turn are reinforced throughout the week with Christian discipleship, fellowship and care. Each of the ministries below is meant to reflect these means of grace.
Several small groups meet on weekday evenings for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship in various homes. Childcare is provided in some groups. This is a great opportunity to get to know people better. 2009-10 Home Fellowship Groups

Praying for each other is a very important ministery of the church family. Prayer requests may be submitted to the gcpc-talk email list, to any elder, to any deacon, to any pastor, dropped into the offering plate, or voiced during the prayer time of the worship service.
In Addition - we have summer sports, church picnics, game nights, dinners, and more!
