Grace isn’t just something we believe in: gospel grace allows us to be known, to be loved, to enter into community.

Through Community Groups, we: Commit to weekly or bi-monthly gatherings; Know each other, sharing joys and sorrows; Love each other and love God, as together we learn more about him; Serve others and seek the flourishing of our city and our world.

Experience grace-filled community that’s authentic, vulnerable, and tenacious.

  • My women’s CG has been a lifeline during the pandemic, a helpful resource as we transitioned to a new neighborhood, and a haven where I have experienced how to:

    • Know and enjoy God more. We have studied biblical themes like, following Christ through suffering (Ruth), lamenting corporately and individually (Lamentations), “walking in love” as part of Christ’s body (Ephesians and Romans), and living out godly wisdom (James).
    • Encourage one another both spiritually and vocationally as we are all mothers of young children.
    • Serve and bear one another’s burdens (Gal. 6:2).
    • Wrestle in prayer together (Col 4:12).
    • Live life together. I’ve never before enjoyed such a deep level of integration with Bible study friends and my community; we see each other at the grocery store, library, school, and we even venture to the same recreation spots.
