There are two central ways that we connect together as a church. The first is our Sunday morning worship service. The other is through being involved in Life Groups.
God calls us as a church not only to worship together on Sundays, but to be meaningfully connected to each other. At Grace, we live out that call to community through our Life Groups. These are neighborhood based and are the smaller communities within the church where we live life together. We encourage, pray, learn and serve together.
All of our groups are open—just contact us for location and additional information. And if the group closest to you isn’t the best fit, feel free to try others.
