Children's Pastor
Sara and Aaron Frias made Granite Creek their home church in 2009. With help from Pastor Larry and the Holy Spirit, they got married after announcements during second service, right before they got their daughter dedicated. They have been growing spiritually ever since.
Sara volunteered as a Sunday school teacher in 2010. Fast forward to now, she’s a wife and mother of four children.
Sara shares: “I love children and I love being the Children’s Ministry Director of this awesome church. I enjoy teaching the young ones about the Bible. I love to let them know they matter the most and that God wants the adults to be like them with child-like faith.”
Sara’s life verse is Galatians 6:9:“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – (NKJV)

Get to Know Us
At Granite Creek, kids are a priority. One of our values is to see kids grow up to become everything God created them to be as they develop a personal faith and relationship with Christ in a safe and loving environment. We partner with parents to provide experiences that will meet their child's mental, emotional and spiritual needs, so that their children will become fully devoted followers of Christ.
More About Children's Programs
GCY is a ministry designed for 7th through 12th graders, to help students engage in a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, to experience God in a true and relevant way, while in a relational, safe, and relaxed environment. To show every student that God loves them and has an amazing plan for their lives. We know youth have real struggles, and it is our desire that each student know our team is genuinely there to listen, pray and care for them.
Granite Creek Youth
FIDELIS is the college and young adult group at Granite Creek Community Church! We're excited to encourage leadership for the next generation! Statistics show that we are losing a generation in the church (18-30 year olds) and at FIDELIS we aim to strengthen and support this generation as they define their faith walk and work through issues unique to them.
We are people-driven church, not program driven. Ministries exist to meet the spiritual, emotional, physical, and psychological needs of people. But, they also provide opportunities for members to grow in maturity in Christ through giving to others. GCCC ministries provide opportunities for you to serve others and actively pursue fulfilling God's purposes for your life.
Thank you for joining us in what God is doing at Granite Creek Community Church!
