These are people who've been with us from the beginning.

Tony & Michelle moved here from Seattle in September 2008 and have been key players from day one.

Hoover & Mary joined us during our very first series and have served selflessly ever since.

Gabe & Katie moved from Seattle in the summer of 2009 and have been a huge part of our church.

By the end of the summer, they'll all be gone.

I HATE THIS! I wish we never lost people. I wish nobody ever moved. I wish that we could be one big happy family forever.

But the reality is... life happens. People move. Jobs transfer people. Not everybody stays for eternity.

But it's not all bad news. Almost 100% of the time, the gap that is left by someone's absence is filled by somebody else. There are capable volunteers in almost every church, but sometimes the perception of "they don't need me" overshadows reality and so they stay on the sidelines for too long.

If you're a part of GLC, now is the time to step up. Now is the time to volunteer. Don't put it off. Join us for the next chapter in the history of our church!
