HOW IT WORKS

A simple way to connect.

  1. Find an interest

    Choose something you enjoy: fitness, books, outdoors, or creativity.

  2. Show up

    Come to a casual gathering. No homework, tests, or long-term sign-up pressure.

  3. Build community

    Connect over time through shared experiences and faith-centered fellowship.

FOUR WAYS TO START

Find your people.
Discover your place.

You don't have to know anyone.
You just have to take the first step.

Are all groups Bible studies?

No. These are relaxed gatherings around shared interests, with fellowship and discipleship at the heart of it all. You don’t need Bible study experience to join in.

CONNECTION BEYOND SUNDAY

More than a gathering.
A place to belong.

Community grows in the everyday moments. A walk. A good book. A conversation that becomes a friendship.

Grace Connect Groups brings people together through shared interests. We build fellowship, encourage one another, and grow as followers of Jesus.

OUR FOUNDATION

Fellowship with purpose.
Discipleship in everyday life.

Our foundational scripture, Hebrews 10:24–25, calls us to gather, encourage one another, and stir one another toward love and good works.

“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

HEBREWS 10:24–25 King James Version
