The staff members at GRPC do more than just keep everything organized and running. They are commisioned to "shepherd the flock of God...proving to be examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:1-3). They aim to "set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12). Each of the staff members believes they are called by God to serve in their respective ministry.
