OUR STORY

Our Mission is simple.  To help people find new life in Jesus, to be a place where the hurting, and the lost can find healing, hope and joy again.  God wants people healed and whole.  We want that, too.

In March 2012, God directed Shelley and I to plant a church in NorthEast Modesto/ Riverbank, California.   In March 2013, we planted a church campus which we pastored for 10 years.  Now, in 2023, God has directed us to pastor a new, sovereign church once again.  With a wonderful team of committed people, God’s call has become a reality.  

Our passion is that you feel “at home” and accepted from the moment you walk in.   We want our church to be a place where the love of Jesus is seen in every smile, heard in laughter, and felt in the moments we share.  Then together, we will  bring the hope of Jesus to our families, friends, communities and the world.

For His Glory, 
Pastor Tracey Traub
One of the most asked questions is “why start another church in the same area?”  Well, we know God wants us to serve in this community, to serve the people who live right here.   Just like you, this has been our home for over 35 years.   We want to know and serve our neighbors and our neighborhoods.

Our church wants to have encounters with God that propel each of us through engaging and meaningful worship services, and teach biblical truths in relevant ways for everyone.  We want to accomplish this in every Sunday service, in GRC kids ministries, GRC Youth, Young Adults and our life groups.

Together, we are building a faith community, like the church of the Bible, where people are real friends, the teachings are truthful and relevant, the worship invites God to be present every time, we pray often and for all things, and we help care for others.  We want to fulfill our purpose, to live with contagious faith that compels others to seek and find God, and be a blessing on our communities.

For His Glory,
Pastor Shelley Traub
