Small Churches
Small Churches are classes that meet on Sunday mornings to study God's Word and to encourage one another in growing closer to God and others. Small Churches provide people with an opportunity to be involved, known and loved within Grace Church. For more information about what Small Churches are and how you can get involved, click here.
You may join a Small Church at any time during the study. Feel free to choose a study that has begun in a recent month, or plan to participate in one that is starting up!
