Getting Started:

Grace Groups are discipleship groups that commit to meeting on a weekly basis for a minimum of one year. You will learn together how to love and follow Jesus and live out the Gospel in your daily life. Groups study the Grace Group curriculum the first semester.

Leader Helps:

  • As the leader, you are to be the model and connector. Share with vulnerability and connect participants to each other, not just to you.
  • Remember that group members may be thinking, "Do I belong in this group?" and "What is expected of me in this group?".
  • Welcome everyone and listen well to their responses.
  • Share group guidelines often, especially at the beginning of the semester. Be more curious than certain about your new group members. Study your group members and get to know them.
  • Schedule 1-2 social times during this first semester to build connection.
  • Try your best to schedule one-on-one time with each of your group members throughout the year
