Small Group Mission:

The mission of small groups at Grace Community Church is to build strong relationships between Christians that will encourage individuals to wholeheartedly follow Christ.

Where do Small Groups fit in?

The essential experiences that we want small group members at Grace to have are deep, meaningful fellowship and rich, regular prayer. The two other essential experiences of church life described in Acts 2:42, teaching and communion, are provided for at Grace through Grace Midweek and Sunday Morning Grace.
