Inviting Ministries

Testimonials from new members at the Front Porch on February 27th, 2011...

 When asked, "Tell Us Your Story - What brought you to us, What made you stay?"...their responses were...

"We were looking for a worship experience where we could feel the presence of the Lord, worship with other believers, make new friends, find a place of service and where we could get involved.  We found ALL of this at GFUMC!  The entire church was so warm & friendly and we have found so many places of service where we can give back to our community and serve our Lord." Mike & Sandy Self

"We were looking for a community oriented church that is welcoming to all people.  We have enjoyed the variety of opportunities for service & fellowship that GFUMC offers.  Everyone has been so friendly & welcoming." Jeff & Temple Bryson

"Much prayer went into my decision, so I felt I made the right move. The friendliness of the people & invitations to Sunday School, Circle, etc. have affirmed this choice.  There is so much to offer...it's a matter of choosing what fits." Gwen Axtell

"We stayed because of the energy of the church, friendly staff, no debt for church, great programs & missions mind of the church." Lee & Elizabeth Barnett

 

When asked, "Give Us the Key - What could we have done better to make you feel at home on your first time to worship?"...their responses were...

"Our first time at worship was a wonderful experience.  We were instantly made to feel at home." Lee & Elizabeth Barnett

"We found GFUMC to be so friendly & welcoming.  We learned there were so many praying for us to be led to GFUMC." Mike & Sandy Self

"Roger (the pastor) noticed us right away. We were so impressed.  Great first impression!" Darrell & Bonnie Yarnell
