"The LORD God said, 'It is not good for man to be alone." Genesis 2:18

None of us are meant to travel the path of life alone. Even if we've heard this before, we sometimes find ourselves slogging through life, or at least a season of it, on our own. "Alone" is not a good way to live life, and it's far from the abundant life Jesus wants us to experience.

Everything in life is better when shared. Celebration is richer. Sorrow is more bearable. Challenges are put into perspective. Decisions are wiser. Whatever season of life you are in, there are people here at Grace who want to know you, to "do life" with you, and share the journey with you.

Life Groups are a part of the body of the church - of the body here at Grace. As parts of the Body, they are a microcosm of the whole. Hence, a Life Group is to mirror the key elements of body life at Grace as expressed on Sundays: worship, study, prayer and service. Fellowship (social interaction and bonding) emerges not independent of the above, but through the group participation of these key activities.

Put simply, Life Groups are a group of people who meet during the week to dive deeper into the study of God's word, to worship, to pray and serve together. Don't just be another face in the crowd. If you want to meet people and grow in your relationship with God, we believe being in a life group is the best place for you.

Looking To Join A Life Group?
All you need to do is participate in a Life Group Launch that happens at the beginning of each book study. Over the course of the study you'll meet and interact with others looking to start or join a life group. The pastors and leaders will offer guidance and coaching as your small group begins a journey into authentic community at Grace.

RSVP your interest with Pastor Joe [jjohnson@gracehb.org].

Interested In Leading A Life Group?
We need people to help lead new groups and welcome people into community at Grace. As a leader you would facilitate asking prepared questions from the book and helping people share and care for each other. Contact Pastor Joe [jjohnson@gracehb.org]

Leader trainings are currently held the 2nd Monday of the month at 7 PM in the Upper Room.
