Church is so much more than a building. It is so much more than a weekly service. Church is not something that we are to go to. It is who God has called us to be. Please join us on Sunday mornings at 9:30am and 11:00am as we study through the book of Acts and learn how to "Be the Church".

We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." ~Jimmy Valvano at the 1993 ESPY Awards Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:30:39 MST http://www.graystonechurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=81 http://www.graystonechurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=81&article_id=215 Jennifer was born on February 7, 1971 and raised in Coral Gables, FL.

This core group soon decided that they needed a place to meet that had more space. So Graystone Church began meeting on Sunday mornings at Discovery Pointe Daycare. After meeting at the daycare for several months, Graystone Church decided once again that it needed a bigger place to meet. In August of 2004, Graystone Church began leasing a warehouse building on Grayson Industrial Parkway in Grayson. The people of Graystone came together to renovate the building and turn it into a church. After a couple months of hard work, Graystone Church held its Grand Opening on October 16, 2004. Since that time Graystone has continued to grow and have an impact in the Grayson community and around the world. In June 2005 Graystone held its first annual Sports Camp. In July 2005 Graystone sent its first short-term mission team to the Dominican Republic. In October 2005 Graystone celebrated its one-year anniversary and finished the renovations of our current worship auditorium and SuperKids room. In 2006, Graystone purchased 11 acres of land on Ozora Rd.  In the fall of 2007 we launched our "Imagine the Possibilities" Building Campaign to raise money to construct a 23,000 square foot facility at our property on Ozora Rd.  We will begin construction on our permanent church building at that location in the fall of 2008. Currently, we are having services every Sunday morning at 9:30 and 11:00. We also have small groups that meet during the week in homes throughout the Grayson/Loganville community. We invite you to be a part of what God is doing here at Graystone!!

To help people on this journey, we have created a spiritual road map we call the 4 G's (Gather, Grow, Give, Go). We believe these 4 G's are essential to knowing God and making God known and it's what we ask of all members of Graystone Church.

We believe that all Christians are called to participate in what God is doing in the world. As a church, we are actively involved in sending short-term mission teams out to share the Gospel, help the poor, hungry and orphaned, and to be the light of Christ in an ever-changing world. We are also involved in mission and benevolence ministries in our local community. At Graystone Church, we are empowering people to live authentic and effective Christian lives and part of being an authentic Christian is having a glocal (global and local-pretty cool word, huh?) impact for Christ.

In a small group, people study God's Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up. Small groups are the place to build long-lasting, meaningful friendships while deepening your relationship with God. Graystone offers small groups for youth, singles, married couples and adults that meet at different times during the week. There is a small group at Graystone for everyone!!
