Small Groups

What is a Small Group?
What is a Small Group?
Small Groups are groups of eight to twelve adults who meet mainly in homes or some in coffee shops or online.
Groups commit to share life and faith together. A great group includes time for both relational connection and studies that challenge members to grow spiritually. A typical group meeting will consist of social time, study, and prayer.
Why should I be in a Small Group
5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE IN A SMALL GROUP:
1. Understand the Bible better through group discussions as you apply the Bible to your life situations.
2. Develop close relationships with others who will walk beside you as you take your next step as a Christ follower.
3. Find answers to the needs in your life through group prayer.
4. Get support in times of crisis or major changes from people who really care for you.
5. Discover and use your gifts and talents as you serve others.
When do Small Groups meet?
When do Small Groups meet?
Groups typically meet 3 - 4 times per month, for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Is childcare provided during Small Group meetings?
Childcare varies from group to group.
If needed, Grace Fellowship provides a childcare Subsidy (at a predetermined rate) for childcare expenses incurred to attend regular group meetings.
Interested in being a Small Group Leader?
Small Group Leader Interest Form
Group leaders create a place for people to talk about life and grow their faith.
You don’t have to be perfect to lead a group. And you don’t need to be a Bible scholar to be used by God to lead others. Group leaders create a place where people can be real and grow. They get front-row seats to the faith journeys of others and find that their faith grows along the way.
Every leader has director on staff to guide them and provide a plan for their group. You won’t have to figure out by yourself how to lead or what to study.
New Leader Onboarding - You’ll be equipped to lead great group meetings and launch your group well.
Curriculum Plans - We'll provide you with a plan for what your group will study for the semester.
Development Opportunities - You’ll be provided with ongoing trainings to help you continue to grow as a leader.

The Power of the Indwelling Spirit

The Power of the Indwelling Spirit
How the working of the Holy Spirit Transforms Lives
“As we first yield ourselves to be led by the Spirit, to confess His presence in us, and as every believer realizes and accepts His guidance in his daily life, God will entrust to us larger measures of His work. If we give ourselves entirely to His ruling within us, He will give more of himself to us and work through us.”
-Andrew Murray
