Communities

Grace Couples and Families is a community for engaged or young married couples, new parents, and parents with elementary-aged children up to fifth grade. We gather in large group settings for much of the teaching and break into small groups for application and discussion periods to help bonds form with families of similar ages and stages.

Parenting Teens is our equipping community for the teenage years. This is best started when your first child is entering Middle School until they graduate, roughly ages 13-18. Teaching topics include Communicating with your Teen, Discussing Teen Sexuality, Transitioning from Teacher to Coach for your Teen, Learning to Listen to your Teen, and more. Further, the group maintains a close partnership with our Grace Youth pastoral team and what students are studying in Sunday services and Life Groups.

Those in our Parents of Young Adults Community typically find their first child is entering college or the career stage of life (typically children ages 16-25). While parenting topics still comprise much of our curriculum to help you lead young adult children, we also include discussion of caring for aging parents and caring for your marriage as children begin to leave home.

Hearts of Grace is a group for adult women of all ages and stages of life. The curriculum is heavily focused on biblical study and Christian life topics and provides a community for women to connect on Sundays outside of Women’s Ministry events.

The Word and the Way Community is for men and women in all ages and stages of life, married or single, with or without children. It functions in more of a Sunday Bible Study format, with the largest emphasis on Bible-based content of all our communities and fewer life stage and other topical studies.
