Because faith was never meant to be lived alone.
These ministries exist at the intersection of faith and friendship. Bible studies, fellowship gatherings, and life-stage communities that help people find their people at Grace. If you are looking for a place to belong or a community to grow with, start here.

Find Your Life Stage
Young AdultsFaith, friendship, and service, for people still figuring it out.
Nobody in their twenties has it figured out, and nobody here is pretending to. GLC Young Adults is a monthly gathering for people (18–30) building a career, a faith, and a life all at the same time, with people who get exactly what that’s like.
“The moment I knew this ministry mattered was when we gathered for a young adult VBS, and everyone in that room felt comfortable sharing about their joys, and their hurts, without any reservations. I noticed how engaged everyone was, and how safe the community felt.”
Parenting with Grace: LittlesFor parents in the thick of the little years.
This one’s for anyone raising kids young enough that a full night’s sleep still feels aspirational. What it looks like changes season to season, but it’s always the same idea: other parents in the exact same mess, comparing notes.
“As parents of young children, it’s easy to forget that we were never meant to navigate this season alone. This ministry offers a place for connection and encouragement, where parents can share the joys and challenges of raising little ones and build meaningful relationships along the way.”
Parenting with Grace: BigsFor parents navigating the teen years, and reclaiming a little of their own life too.
Parenting a teenager is a different sport than parenting a toddler, and nobody warns you about that. This group is for the honest version of that conversation, the late nights, the independence, the moments you genuinely don’t know what you’re doing, with people living the same stretch of it.
“Seeing our kids become church cousins and being there for each other makes our parenting jobs lighter, doing it alongside people you love and are in community with. It really does take a village and it is so much more fun that way.”
Adulting with GraceAdulting is hard. Adulting with Grace is easier.
Single or married, with kids or without, 30s, 40s, and beyond. Adulting with Grace is for those who are just trying to find balance in the everyday grind. Adulting is hard, but doing it alongside others makes it easier. This group is a place to learn from each other, vent to each other, grow spiritually together, and have fun along the way.
Inspired RetiredFor those in the retirement years, staying connected to community, and discovering what’s still ahead.
Retirement isn’t the end of anything, whatever the greeting cards imply. This is a gathering for people in that chapter, for fellowship, for stories worth telling, and for figuring out together what comes next. What this group actually becomes is still being written, and that’s an invitation, not a gap.
Small Groups & Bible Studies
Saturday Seekers Bible StudyReal questions, real scripture, real people to sit with.
Saturday Seekers is a Bible study built on honest discussion and reflection, open to adults of any age. No right answers required, just a willingness to keep asking the questions.
“The moment I knew this ministry mattered was when people began opening up and asking further questions, showing curiosity, and sharing that with one another. But even more was when people started inviting others and they joined in. That’s when it really clicked!”
