PRAYER & INTERCESSION
The heart of who we are
Prayer is at the heart of who we are. Every day, our members unite in faith to intercede for specific needs — lifting up families, the community, the nation, and the world. The results of these prayer sessions are a testament to God's faithfulness and power. Whether you are confident in prayer or just beginning, you are welcome.
Gathering Times
Upper Room Prayer — Daily, 6:00–7:00 am on Zoom Midweek Prayer — Wednesdays, 11:30 am–1:00 pm at GFC Monthly Prayer Meeting — Last Friday of each month, 7:30–9:00 pm at GFC
SHEEPFOLD HOME GROUPS
Where nobody is unknown
In a larger church, it is easy to attend on Sunday and still feel unknown. That is where Sheepfold Home Groups come in. These smaller midweek gatherings are where people study Scripture, pray for one another, and build the kind of friendships that carry through everyday life.
Home group leaders act as shepherds — they know their members, notice when someone is absent, and create a safe space for people to use their gifts, share their experiences, and grow.
WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE
Strengthened in faith and friendship
Women of Substance is a ministry for women to gather, grow, encourage one another, and be strengthened in faith. It is a space for honest conversation, spiritual depth, and practical support.
PEARLS is a midweek women's gathering within Women of Substance — a space for connection, conversation, and encouragement from home via Zoom.
Gathering Times
Women of Substance — Third Saturday of each month, 11:00 am–2:00 pm at GFC PEARLS — Wednesdays, 8:00–9:00 pm on Zoom
COUNSELLING & CARE
You are not alone
Church should be a place where people are cared for, not left to struggle alone. Our counselling and care ministry integrates Biblical principles with pastoral support.
Marriage Counselling
Pre-marital and post-marital counselling led by experienced leaders.
Pastoral Care
Support through grief, relationships, and personal challenges via visits, phone calls, and prayer.

HOSPITALITY & WELCOME
First impressions matter
Our hospitality and welcome team is often the first point of contact for anyone walking through the doors. From the moment you arrive, the team is there to greet you warmly, help you find a seat, and make sure you feel settled.
If you enjoy making people feel at home, this team would welcome your help.

Institutional Ministry
Pastoral care in hospitals, prisons, and schools.
