Our Mission-
Greendale People's Community Church is a
welcoming, inclusive community seeking to love God, and follow Jesus Christ
through worship, prayer, and service to others.
"A Church whose only label is Christian and whose only
head is Christ." We are a locally
governed congregation in covenanted fellowship with other like-minded
community churches in The International Council of Community Churches. There
are hundreds of ecumenical congregations in our country, and many more
around the world. Together we witness that Christians need not be divided by
denominational lines but may know oneness in Christ through worship,
fellowship, and service. Opportunities
for Spiritual Growth-
Children's Communion Classes
for those grade three or eight years old and older meet in the fall of the
year. Children's Communion Sunday is traditionally held on the First Sunday
of Advent each year.
Confirmation Classes for
those in eighth grade or thirteen years old or older and are held from
January through June. Confirmation takes place on Pentecost Sunday. These
weekly spiritual formation classes are comprised of scripture study, study
of church history, spiritual gift development, visits to other places of
worship, participation in worship services at GPC, participation in outreach
projects and two retreats.
Chi Rho, our Youth
Group for young people grades seven through twelve meet on Sunday evenings.
During the year, in addition to our regular meetings comprised of
fellowship, food, fun and faith activities, there are special events such as
concerts, retreats, and outreach activities including a summer work team
project.
Weekly Bible Study, Support Groups,
Monthly Women's Refresher Evening, and Retreats are held on a
regular basis.
