Small groups are how the body at Grace tangibly lives out life in community with one another. Unlike the larger setting of Sunday morning worship, small groups offer a more intimate venue where people can minister their gifts, enjoy authentic accountability and practice the biblical “one-anothers.” These groups have as their focus devotional instruction or sermon review coupled with life application. They provide a positive environment for closer fellowship, praying together and intensive discipleship. They also offer opportunity for outreach to neighbors or people who may not normally attend a church. Take a look at which group may be meeting near you.
