"The church is marked by its unity, shared life, commonality, and community—in a word: fellowship. Fellowship is critical to the life of the church. Christianity is not a spectator event that happens on Sunday but a common, shared life with other believers."
— John MacArthur
Our 2026 Sundays in July seminars have concluded. We are grateful for everyone who joined us for these special times of fellowship and equipping.
We pray the seminars encouraged you and strengthened your relationships within the church.
Audio recordings from most of the seminars are available below. We look forward to gathering again next summer.

Matt was saved during high school. Since then, he’s had a passion for bringing the gospel to students in the context of youth ministry. Matt and his wife, Jenny, began attending Grace Community Church in 2003 and have served as volunteer staff in the youth department for most of that time. Matt currently serves as an elder in the High School ministry, and he also works full-time leading Human Resources at Liferay, a global software company. Matt and Jenny have three children.

Jon has been a lay elder with Student Ministries since 2004, where he supports the pastor and disciples staff and students. He is a medical doctor by profession and helps oversee and advise the church medical ministry. Jon is also active in the Elders’ Council Handling Outreach (ECHO), encouraging and supporting our missionaries. He and his wife, Cammy, have two grown children and one grandchild.
