At Grace Bible Church we believe church should be more than a weekly social gathering where people are simply spectators. The work of salvation through Jesus Christ equips us to serve one another in the context of the local assembly of believers. In order that our members might have the opportunity to minister to others within the church, we have a small group ministry that meets on Sunday evenings. (Except for the fourth Sunday of each month when we serve at the Gospel Rescue Mission.)
Within our small groups we encourage intimate, life to life interaction. We want our members to get to know one another on a deeper level. We are trying to facilitate true biblical fellowship where our members can be involved with one another life to life. This requires an atmosphere of trust where people are free to share honestly their struggles, fears, and failures and find others who are willing to shoulder burdens and help.
During these small group meetings we encourage people to share with others the work God is doing in their lives. We want to pray for one another and offer one another helpful insights and encouragement from God’s word.
These groups generally meet in the homes of one of the group’s members. Of course, food is always a part of the small-group fellowship experience!
