About Us

Our church was started by our founder Eddie Duracka in April 1959. Eddie Duracka had a burden for the people of Clearing and Garfield Ridge neighborhoods. With a few dollars for the first month’s rent at the Yugoslav hall, Eddie asked God to continue to provide for the church. God provided and blessed with many more people saved and added to the church. So much so, that they built the building that stands on Narragansett and 55th st in Garfield Ridge neighborhood.

God continues to provide for GRBC, even though our founding Pastor has gone on to be with the Lord in 1990. We have continued to reach Garfield Ridge and the surrounding communities for Jesus Christ.
