Our Purpose

To Love God…

Truly loving God requires us to engage our heart as well as our head.  Jesus said that loving God with all our heart, soul and mind was to be our first priority.  Our combined ministries are aimed at providing opportunities to connect with God and grow in our love for Him.

…Love People

When we truly love God, we are enabled to love people.  Jesus said this was our second priority.  Our aim is to provide an atmosphere of love and acceptance.  Our care goes beyond the organized services of the week to include the concerns of daily life.

…And Make Disciples

It isn’t enough to know about God or even to know Him.  Our love is brought to fullness when we follow Him. We are dedicated to leading people into a life of Word, prayer and deed so we will be imitators of Jesus.

Our Vision

To be a community where everyone is discovering their identity in Jesus, pursuing their involvement in God’s kingdom, and investing in relationships in order to tell to the story of Jesus.

Our Mission

For all to encounter Jesus through God’s Word, Prayer, Worship, Fellowship, and Service.

Background

Gaylord Family Fellowship is a part of the family of Christ-followers called Free Methodists. We are people of the Word of God and the Spirit of God.  The Bible is our final authority and we experience the risen Jesus through the Holy Spirit.  We have a rich history of concern for those in need and recognize that the best thing we can do for people is to introduce them to Jesus Christ and invite them into a life-changing relationship with Him!  He is the Son of God who came to restore our broken relationship with Him and enable us to heal our relationships with other people.  For a full view of our beliefs  click here

Culture

GFF offers a relaxed, come-as-you-are worship service with a contemporary Christian sound.  Our goal is to facilitate an atmosphere where everyone can feel welcome, and all will be drawn closer to Jesus!  We encourage participation in our services through singing, shared prayer requests, prayers & praises, as well as dialogue during the teaching.
