Community Groups

...a great way to connect and build relationships with others at Grace while encouraging one another on your spiritual journeys.

Community Groups are made up of 3 to 16 individuals, who desire relational connectedness and spiritual growth. They mutually encourage each other to pursue their relationships with God and one another.

In a Community Group, people study and discuss relevant issues and challenges of life from a Biblical perspective. Topics such as marriage, parenting, finances, faith, spiritual growth, and community service are covered. Some groups may choose to study books of the Bible. Community Groups are also where people connect, make friends, pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up.
