Community
At Great Lakes Church, community means coming together to support one another, serve others, and share God’s love in practical ways.
Care & Support
Whether you're celebrating, grieving, or seeking guidance, we’re here for you.
"If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions."
1 John 3:17-18 (NLT)
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Our goal at Great Lakes Church is to support and encourage our members by connecting them with resources both inside and outside of our church community. As you can imagine, our dream would be to help every single person needing financial assistance. However, because of the number of requests we receive, being a member or regular attendee is a requirement of receiving financial help.
To get started please fill out the Financial Assistance Request form below.
Funerals
If you are a part of the Great Lakes Church family and have experienced the loss of a family member or close friend, we want to be a support to you.
Our pastors are available to help in the planning and/or leading of your loved one's memorial or funeral.
To begin the process of planning a service or simply making us aware of a death, please call (262) 208-4521 and leave a message. You can also email us at care@greatlakeschurch.com and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
