Just over a year ago, we kicked off The New Normal Project to accelerate our 2016 vision: • BE the church • ACTIVATE the campus • REPRODUCE at every level We are power surging on target to launch two major parts of this project by early fall: the Expanded Atrium and the Early Learning Center. And because we’re paying for these projects with cash, staying on track with your pledge (or paying ahead) makes a difference. Thanks for your faithfulness. It’s leaving a mark.

THE BACK STORY
SUMMER LIFE SUPPORT
After its beginning in a living room 25 years ago, Granger Community Church has attendees in the US, India, Singapore, the Philippines, Canada and the UK. We’re a church with many locations–from 5,000 at the Granger Campus, to 25 people at a prison re-entry center, to 450 people in Elkhart, to 100 people at Monroe Circle Community Center and more than 1,500 gathering weekly online from all over the world. We’re a church with many expressions–hipsters and adrenaline junkies, accountants and artists, conservatives and liberals. We are glad you’re here.
