On the last Saturday of every month, the men get together at 8 AM at the church for fellowship. Members and non-members are welcome to attend.

Every Thursday at 7:00 p.m., we hold a prayer service prior to the worship service. We pray for the church, the church body, and our pastor. All are welcome to join us.

Each summer, GCF takes a group of kids to the Iowa Youth Connection camp. IYC began 20 years ago as the vision of three Iowa Youth Pastors who believed that God wanted to do a big work in the youth of the state of Iowa. They joined their groups together for a camp that year and called it “Iowa for Jesus”. With the goals of forming relationships, strengthening leaders, and having life-changing ministry for teens, the heart and foundation for what would become IYC was formed. As they continued to pursue God year-by-year, more groups were added and the name was changed to “Iowa Youth Connection”. Even as IYC continues to grow, it is still lead by local church Youth Ministers from the Midwest, and keeps local church youth ministry at the center of its focus.

On game day, we congregate at the church for a potluck. Those who are interested in the game can watch it on our huge LCD display screens; those who aren't bring their own games and entertainment.

On Halloween, we host a game night at the armory in Carroll. The whole community is welcome to enjoy hot dogs, chips, desserts, games, and fellowship with us. Kids are free to wear costumes, if they choose, and everyone receives a treat bag without having to go door-to-door in the cold!

During the festival of lights at Swan Lake, we stage a live nativity outside the Conservation Center. We hand out candy canes and accept donations of stuffed animals for St. Anthony Regional Hospital to give to children in the ER and who are admitted to the hospital. Please come out and see us - it will be a blessing to you and to the children of our community.

On New Year's Eve, we congregate at the church for a potluck and game night for the kids and adults to enjoy.
