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!

"Identifying the Biblical Characteristics of Antichrist"
Paul told the 1st century church that Jesus Christ will not return to earth until after “the man of sin” is revealed in the midst of a massive apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:1-11). We can enjoy the sunny days of summer knowing that the dark days of Antichrist will be the curtain-raiser to Jesus’ triumphal Second Coming!

12 weeks series on The History of Christianity: This study begins with Jesus and the Apostles and journeys through the Catholic Age of Christianity, the Age of Christian Roman Empire, the Age of Christian Middle Ages, the Age of Reformation, the Age of Reason & Revival, the Age of Progress and to the current Age of Ideologies. It will look at the people - their motivations, the issues they grapple with, the decisions they make, and the result is that the study moves like a dramatic drama story and yet there is no fiction here.
