So you’ve been coming to Grace Church for a while…what now? How do you really enter into the life of the church? One great way is to get involved with a Grace Group!
Grace Groups are a group of friends who relate to each other in a smaller, more comfortable setting to study the Bible and apply it to their daily lives. Grace Groups are a support system and provide an environment for challenging each other and welcoming new people.
It’s a community within the church…to serve and love each other…to reach out. Meeting at the church on Sundays and in homes throughout the week in Norton and surrounding communities. Click here to contact Thena and get connected with a group that best fits your needs.
