Mission, Vision and ValuesIn November, 1986 Mark Beeson and his wife, Sheila, moved to Granger, Indiana to start a church for people who don’t go to church. Starting in their living room with 10 people, Mark and Sheila have never changed their focus; to grow a church for people who say church is too boring, too intimidating or just not relevant to their stressed-out, hyper-speed lives. And, to this day people still ask them this question “Why bother? There are plenty of churches around.” Their answer is the same, again and again; “People matter to God. Even if they don’t know it yet. So we’re going to meet them in their comfort zone, with Biblical teaching and messages that deal with their everyday challenges, hopes and heartbreaks. And we’re going to communicate using ways in ways they can relate–movies, books, music, media and drama. Because we believe God is present in all things, at all times. You just have to open your eyes.”
And, that’s what Granger Community Church is all about. And, we’ve got 23 years of growth and changed lives to show for it. Not only are we passionate about the arts, but also our children and students. We believe them to be some of the greatest influencers of our church today.
So what can you expect? A casual atmosphere with today’s music, quality media, messages you can take with you, an amazing children’s center, a bookstore and wi-fi café.
Whatever your circumstances—single, married, single again, with or without children—and no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, you matter to God and you will experience the difference here.
