February 26– March 2, 2025
Chris Granberry is the Founder and Director of Sacred Road Ministries and Assistant Pastor of Hope Fellowship Church, Washington.
The Granberry family moved to the Yakama Indian Reservation in June 2003, with the desire to love and serve our “first neighbors” well—many of whom live in conditions that rival many third world nations. Sacred Road Ministries was incorporated in 2005; since then, the Lord has equipped the ministry to love our “first neighbors” by redeeming broken lives, restoring hope to the oppressed, and rebuilding communities on both the Yakama and Warm Springs reservations.
Chris was ordained by the Pacific Northwest Presbytery in June 2008. With a background in teaching, coaching, and youth ministry, Chris now serves as Team Leader as well as the Assistant Pastor for the Hope Fellowship church plant. Chris’s wife, Mary, is the administrator for summer short-term teams and interns; she also oversees the food and mercy ministries and hospitality.
The Missions Conference offering is designated for Sacred Road Ministry’s (SRM) ministry needs, including purchase of a van. Transportation is an integral part of the ministry because so few people have reliable transportation available to them. Almost 100% of the children and teenagers that are active in the church rely on SRM’s ability to pick them up and take them home. It will be useful in transporting people (particularly youth) to Sunday worship and discipleship groups, Tuesday night youth group, Wednesday and Thursday afterschool program, and special events.
Missionary guests are available to meet with small groups/home fellowships on Thursday and Friday evening, February 27–28. Request a missionary for your group here.

Mission Fare volunteers are needed on Saturday, March 1, to help with simple food prep, restocking food, room monitoring, and clean-up (kitchen, plus table and chair tear-down—men and teens are especially needed). Many hands make light work! Click below to sign up and see list of needs. Contact Rachel Bleecker with questions.
The Missions & Me project is here! Books are available today in K–Grade 6 Sunday school classes, Wednesday night clubs, and the Children’s Ministry office. This year’s theme is Pouring Ourselves Out for Our Neighbor. The Missions & Me books and videos provide a fun way for children to learn about missions, connect with our missionaries, and participate in the annual Missions Conference.
Host families are needed during our Missions Conference, February 26–March 2. Most needs are for a 1–3 night stay, but we do have a few missionaries that attend the whole conference. Your hospitality is greatly appreciated! Click below to sign up to host.
