"Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. feed my sheep." john 21:15-17

::: Outreach is a natural overflow :::

Jesus has poured out His love for us, and He continues to pour out His love to us each day.  Jesus rescued us from a life separated from God's love, and He wants to rescue everyone else.


We want to go with Jesus, following His lead, into our community, and help people find a relationship with God that rescues them too.  We do this by extending genuine kindness, mercy, love, wisdom, and truth that Jesus has formed in our hearts.


We do this because God's love moves us.  It's the natural overflow of His love poured into our hearts.

Granada Connections Ministry

The Granada Connections Team has tackled a big job! With 2 parts to the ministry they serve to connect people within Granada's groups and events and then to connect Granada to the local community. Here's a few methods and ministries that are supporting: 
  • First Impressions: Greeting guests and overseeing the 1st impression they receive both relationally and visually.
  • Connecting multiple groups within GHFC who are serving and looking for similar efforts. Unifying GHFC within a singular focus.
  • Caring for staff, volunteers and members
  • Meeting those in need where they are. 
  • Gospel Center Churches of La Mirada: a coalition of gospel-centered churches within La Mirada, Ca. 
  • Host, Assist and/or promote various outreach opportunities within the local community and our Friends Church Community.

We support a handful of ongoing ministries that are always in need of volunteers or donations. 

  • Donate to Our Food Pantry

    Granada's Food pantry is available to those in need of a meal and can be found in the GHFC office Monday-Thursday.  One of our pastors will greet them, pray with them, provide a meal, and offer any additional resources that may be helpful.


    We are always in need of more non-perishable food items. They can be delivered to the main office at any time during office hours.

::: Other Outreach Opportunities :::

Jesus leads us to be One Body of Christ; to be unified as we stand and walk beside other believers. We do this because there is so much more than just 1 church can do. While GHFC is always active in finding ways to serve our community, here are a few other organizations that reach additional  people surrounding the greater Granada community. For more information about any of these ministries or ways you can get involved please contact us at info@ghfc.org.

  • Sunday evening meal and worship service has been growing as God’s Word is being proclaimed to those in need of hope. The “Basement Church” meets on Sunday evenings. Many are homeless. Many are fighting various forms of addiction or mental illness. Others are just trying to survive in a despair-ridden inner city neighborhood. The Basement Church meets in the basement of Long Beach Friends Church. Several churches take turns providing a meal prior to the worship service on Sunday evenings. Often, the church providing dinner will also bring a worship team or prayer counselors.  A small group from Granada ministers in Long Beach the first Sunday evening every other month.
