The Day Heaven Touched Earth
Warm sunlight bathed the heart of Flemingsburg, Kentucky, as five souls, armed with two words spoken 4 months prior, some incredible faith, and divine desire to birth a God-given vision, gathered together on June 26, 2011. This wasn’t just another Sunday; it was history in the making. After that fateful day, the announcement went public the following week and we officially flung our doors wide open on July 3, 2011. This wasn’t a typical church birth; this was a spiritual explosion in the making.
An Epic Saga of BLOCKBUSTER Faith
Fast forward through 12 years that felt like a Hollywood blockbuster—complete with jaw-dropping highs, heart-wrenching lows, and moments that would make you weep in sorrow at times and shout “Hallelujah!” from the rooftops at other times. We’ve certainly weathered incredible storms that would’ve sunk ships that were sailing without Jesus, but not us. No, we remained, we survived, we thrived. Why? Because the Lord has been with us from the very beginning. Through it all, as of this writing (September 2023), we have witnessed a dozen years of miracles, marvels, and majestic moments! We’ve danced on mountaintops and crawled through valleys low, but we’ve never wavered. As Paul tells us in Romans 8:37, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” At Greater Rain, the name of Jesus is not merely spoken; it resounds, it reverberates, it ignites the air we breathe!
Our Essence, Our Core, Our Unbreakable Soul
Forget labels; they’re too small to capture who we are. We’re a five-fold-ministry oasis, drenched in Pentecostal and Full Gospel experiences and backgrounds at the core. We live, breathe, and believe every sacred word from Genesis to Revelation. And we don’t just talk the talk; we set the world on fire with our faith. We love ferociously, as if each act of kindness could tip the scale between heaven and earth. Here, salvation isn’t just a theological concept; it’s a life-altering encounter. We stand upon the unyielding rock of eternal truths, preaching not just that sin exists (yes, we certainly believe that too!), but that redemptive love conquers all (if you believe, confess, and repent of your sins, the Lord is awesome! He is faithful and just. The blood redeems, the Spirit regenerates, and the name restores. While we preach the need for salvation, the realities of Heaven and Hell, the necessity of true holiness of the heart; we also preach JESUS who makes it all possible!
Not Just a Church, It’s a Soulquake!
Ever felt your soul vibrate? You will here. At Greater Rain, you don’t just hear about God; you feel Him. Your spirit doesn’t just get fed; it feasts. It’s not just a service; it’s a full-blown experience where you can come in to the churchhouse and begin to praise & worship the King of Glory, pray with brothers and sisters in Christ, get the help you need, feel burdens lift off of your life, experience true freedom, and then pull up to the Master’s table as the Lord uses one of the Pastors and/or other ministers in this precious place to feed your soul the truth of God’s Word!
Services ARE NOT TYPICAL PROGRAMS – These ARE Life-Changing Experiences For Everyone
Sundays at 3 PM and Tuesdays at 7 PM you are invited to come be a part of what the Lord is doing at GRCC as we have absolutely powerful services (no lame man-riddled programs here!)
We believe the young people should be able to engage in services and be with their families/church families in services as well, so our approach has also been much different (although we have noticed it catching on ALOT over the last several years). We dismiss the children to the back with our teachers on Sundays right before the preaching so everyone gets to worship together but then they are taught on their level.
Then we have the dynamic Friday Night Services at 7 PM. Friday Night is considered a youth service and what we do is, after we spend time praising & worshipping the Lord in the sanctuary together, we dismiss the ADULTS to the back for adult Bible Studies & Fellowship while the Youth are being taught in the sanctuary on their level.
Certainly not some sub-standard typical gathering going on at GRCC. We just want the Lord to have HIS WAY and for every single person to be able to receive everything the Lord has for them!
Our Rallying Cries:
- Experience God, Experience Grace: Listen, this is not just some slogan; it’s our call to action, our call to awakening.
- Everybody’s Welcome, Nobody’s Perfect, Anything’s Possible: Life can be messy, people are messy, but as we come together on this journey, we know the Lord is going to help each and every one of us…and we are to help one another along the way. This unity combined with an expectancy for miracles prepares the way for literally anything to happen.
- Love Differently: We don’t just love; we love like revolutionaries.
- Think Legacy: We’re not just planning for tomorrow; we’re building for eternity.
- Live by Faith, Be Known by Love, Be a Voice of Hope: While this is our anthem, we hope and pray that it will become yours too.
Your Golden Ticket to Eternity
This isn’t an invitation; it’s your destiny calling, loud and clear. You’re not JUST welcome; you’re wanted, you’re valued, you’re cherished, you’re celebrated. Here at Greater Rain, you don’t just find a church; you find your family, you find destiny.
Ready for the Ride of Your LIFE & Afterlife?
Here at Greater Rain, we don’t just ‘do church.’ Oh, no! We throw wide the doors to a spiritual explosion that’ll have you shouting “Hallelujah!” from the deepest core of your being! This isn’t your average sit-down-and-yawn services; this is where you feel the love of Jesus envelop you like a tidal wave of pure grace!
You think you’ve seen community? You haven’t seen anything yet! We’re not just a congregation; we’re a Holy Ghost-powered family that thrives on the life-changing, earth-quaking love of Jesus Christ! When you walk through our doors, you’re not joining a church; you’re stepping into your destiny, surrounded by a tribe who’ll love you like Jesus does—with open arms and hearts on fire!
So what’s the holdup? If you’re waiting for a sign, this is it! Greater Rain isn’t a pitstop; it’s your launching pad to a new dimension of faith and a closer walk with Jesus! Here, we don’t just talk about miracles; we live them, breathe them, and watch in awe as the Holy Ghost sets our lives ablaze!
