Senior Highers Make the Best Junior Staff
This summer, we had four Jr. Staffers: Cam, Junior, Heaven, and Jordan. All four completed their contracts, grew spiritually, and floored us with their servants' hearts. They didn't just get practice; they did real-deal ministry.
Our Trunk or Treat Turns 10
This event stands out every year because it’s typically our largest community gathering. But it’s also special for another reason—it was the very first neighborhood outreach we hosted when Griggs began revitalizing back in 2015. Ten years later, it’s still one of our favorite traditions.

Manna on Poinsett

The Past of Parker
On this side of town, the Parker name is familiar, but not everyone knows where it comes from. After all, there’s no Parker Mill and no Parker neighborhood. Yet there is a Parker Fire District. Why is that?

A look back at prayer Sunday where we gather to ask God to send forth laborers, open the eyes of the blind, bring his glory to the nations, care for the poor and needy, protect us in spiritual warfare, and use our ministry to children in Poe Mill in a mighty way.
Mike & Jeff’s
At Mike and Jeff’s, every day is treated like opening day. The meat is never cut ahead of time. It smokes for no less than 16 hours over an open wood fire—no gas, electricity, or charcoal—and the green beans take all night to make, every night.
Going Over to Gus’s
When we asked George what makes Gus's unique, he didn't hesitate: soul food, and their unwavering commitment to the meat and three.
An Interview With Our Ministry Resident, Nate LabadorF
About six months after that conversation with God, Mitch suggested I apply to this residency. I did, and they accepted me. It's been a tremendous experience.
One Prayer for One Church
Jesus uses some of his final breaths to ask the Father that his people would be “one.” Not a general unity, not simply good feelings toward one another, or simply an absence of conflict — but a closeness that mirrors the unity of the Trinity itself.
Holy Week for the Whole Neighborhood
Holy Week isn't just for us at Griggs. It's for everyone who calls 1st-6th avenue “home.”
Food and Fellowship
We want to be a family that prays for each other, supports each other, and comes together to worship and serve our Most High God together.
No Longer Blank
One thing we are not lacking in Poe Mill is murals. Right around Griggs Church, there are several murals thanks to artist Adam Schrimmer, a local legend and lead artist of Blank Canvas Mural Company.

It’s literally graffiti—scratched into a plaster or stone surface in ancient Rome. It’s the earliest known depiction of Jesus on the cross that we’ve found so far, dated somewhere between the 1st and 3rd centuries.
