As the saying goes, connection and growth happen best in circles, not rows. Groups are a great way to meet people, develop relationships, grow spiritually, and make a larger church seem small.
Available Groups
Community groups are ongoing groups that meet from September- May. They generally meet in homes or at the church. Some are formed by geographic location, and some by stage of life. They are designed to help you connect relationally and grow spiritually.
We have groups for married and single adults, young adults, men, and women.
In an environment of acceptance and authenticity, Grace Women exists to help women connect relationally and grow spiritually. Through the venues of groups, retreats, and events, women of all life stages are encouraged and strengthened in their walk with Christ.
All of Creation Hiking Group:
An opportunity to fellowship with our church community while hiking through all of creation. We intend to organize local hikes on a periodic basis exploring the wonderful world given to us by our Creator.
For single adults or married couples. These trips will be strenuous, so experienced hikers only. Our max head count will be 10, so first come, first served.
Interested? Contact Jim Montross, montrossjames@yahoo.com to join the group and learn of future trips.

At some level, we all experience brokenness. Through Re:Generation, we believe people can experience growth and new life by working through the healing path God has given us in the Bible. The mission of this biblically-based program is to call all people to be fully devoted followers of Christ. Our experience and prayer are that you will find healing from your hurts, habits, and hang-ups.
Re:Generation meets every Monday night at 6:30 pm at GFC. Even on holidays! Register Here.
Senior Adults Bible Study
An eight-week study on the Seven Words of Worship led by Phil Whitaker. Worship is our response to God’s revelation of who He is and what He has done. It’s all about Jesus!. We will have refreshments and fellowship from 10:00-10:30 am. The session begins at 10:30. This study is hosted by Grace Senior Adults, but anyone is invited to attend.
Begins Wednesday, September 4, 10:00-11:30 am, East Auditorium
The Grace Single Adult group includes lifelong singles, divorcées, widows, and widowers ages 35 and up (although our “sweet spot” is probably in the 40s, 50s, and 60s since many divorces happen at that age). It’s a great group, and we rally less around our age and more around a mutual desire to grow in the faith, form friendships, recover, heal, serve, love, and have fun. We meet at Grace Fellowship every Thursday at 6:30 for a Bible study and connect weekly for other activities (hikes, concerts, game nights).
When: Thursday, 6:30-8:30 pm, GFC, North Room 1. Register Here.
Join with other ladies for a yoga exercise group led by Sherry Marion. Join any time!
