Lost in the Crowd?
At this time of year, it can be easy to get lost in the crowd, literally. Thousands of students are pouring into town. Streets and stores are bustling with people, and both of our Grace campuses are overflowing on Sundays. Yet, even in such a crowd, it's easy to feel isolated and disconnected.
Find Your Family  At Grace, we believe that church is more than Sunday morning. It's belonging to a family that loves, encourages, and challenges one another to grow as followers of Jesus Christ. We also believe that the single most effective way to grow in our faith is to study God's Word with a small group of like-minded people. Grace Small Groups are designed to connect you with a handful of others to experience true biblical community and life change together. We are committed to helping participants GROW in their relationship with God, CONNECT in loving relationships with one another, and SERVE the church and our community in eternally significant ways. Our small groups for men, women, singles, couples and college students provide the environment that aids us in becoming who God created us to be.
1st Peter - Ambassadors to the World This semester our main Bible study offering will be the book of 1st Peter. Peter's first epistle challenges believers to live as representatives of Christ in a hostile world where persecution and suffering are inevitable. This book's principles are so applicable to our world today. Peter shows us how we can follow Christ's example as we walk through the various roles, responsibilities and trials in our own lives.
Miracles of Christ The main study for our Home Church groups will be the miracles of Christ in the book of Mark. In each of these supernatural feats, Jesus transcended the boundaries of time, space, medicine, and physics to give us a glimpse of God. Discover who our God is and what He can accomplish in your life through this study of miracles in Mark. More options - We also offer many additional study options in our Home Churches, Grace Life Electives, Adult Bible Fellowships, Men's and Women's Ministries.
Don't get lost in the crowd this fall. We'd love to help you find a small group that is right for you.
Find out how to GET CONNECTED to the family of Grace.

Undivided: A Study of the Book of James
Do you divide your allegiance between God and this world, trying to hold on to both? James warns us that such a life simply will not work. He challenges those of us who have trusted in Christ to give Him everything, to live without compromise, to live wholly devoted to God. Only by giving Him our undivided loyalty will we find the joy, peace, strength, and wisdom to bless others and glorify God.
