Everybody is a worshiper of something or someone. At GRAG, we place emphasis on worship of God alone through lifestyle. In much of Christianity, it seems that the term 'worship' refers to a musical style or the time of a church meeting when people sing. We choose to think of worship as an all encompassing lifestyle that certainly includes the musical portion of a church gathering and even private times of musical praise, but it goes far beyond in that everything we do in life, whether helping another, encouraging a coworker, even cleaning up after ourselves, becomes an act of worship to our Maker and Savior.
"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people."  Colossians 3:23 NLT

Part of what any church is called to do is serve the immediate world around them. GRAG is no different and we take that call seriously. We wish to reach the people of our region with the good news of a Savior who cares for them and can make their lives better. Our hope is that our actions demonstrate that care and love to those we come in contact with on a daily basis. This is our mission and goal, to see those in our little corner of the world know Jesus love through us. We exist so we can serve our fellow human as best we can, without judgement, without prejudice, and without  strings.
"And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.” Matthew 10:42 NLT

Jesus built influence. He influenced, or reached many people directly and indirectly in the time of his ministry on earth through his good works and wisdom. His reach has continued in the millenia since. We seek to build influence with individuals and groups in Sweetwater County in the same manner so that we may reach the most people possible with the love and message of Christ. We desire to help the helpless, feed the hungry, clothe those in need of clothing, provide shelter for the homeless, and in general, meet whatever practical need  we are able to meet for the people we come across on a daily basis.
"In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." Matt. 5:16 NLT
