Grace Groups
Our approach to small group ministry flows from two main goals:
For Members
To foster the most advantageous environment for deepening relationships, openness in sharing honestly about our real burdens and care needs, and to offer an environment for mutual soul-care within each small group.
For Non-members
To serve non-members by encouraging them to pursue corporate accountability via joining the congregation before assuming involvement in the body by participating in a subsidiary ministry of the church.
ANNUAL GRACE GROUP PATTERNS
January - May
Our Spring semester Grace Groups use Grace Church’s Teleios Academy Bible studies.

So far Grace Church has studied through:
Genesis 1-11
Genesis 12-50
Isaiah
Matthew
Luke
John
Acts 1-15
Acts 16-28
