Get Connected / Home Fellowship Groups / What & Who
HISTORY
Our Home Fellowship Group Ministry began in the last months of 1997. We believe that as the church grows larger we should also stay smaller. Due to the fact that we have such a large congregation, it is impossible for our Pastors to individually care for all of our members. To see that our congregation members were properly cared for, we began our Home Fellowship Groups so that each member could become connected with a group of other believers. |
What & Who
What is a Home Fellowship Group?
- A place to safely connect with others in authentic, loving relationships.
- A place to grow in Christ’s likeness through interaction with believers and Bible study.
- A place to discover your Spirit-given gifts and how you fit into the body of Christ, the church.
What can I expect if I join a Home Fellowship Group?
 Friendship
Home Fellowship Groups are a safe place to meet people who will appreciate and accept you. This is true because each group is centered around our common bond as brothers and sisters in Christ. That is how God designed the body of Christ to operate. You will find that you will develop the closest relationships as you fellowship together around God and His Word.
Sharing
 Home Fellowship Groups are safe places to be honest and open with people who care for your spiritual well-being. It can become the place where God can help you to get help in carrying the heavy load that we all carry in our fast-paced society. Whatever is shared in a group is kept within the group. As you get to know each other and begin to develop trust in each other, you begin to see the benefit of having friends who care about you and with whom you can share your struggles.
Spiritual and Emotional Growth and Healing
Home Fellowship Groups are places that can help you get connected to your heavenly Father by learning how to communicate with Him. They are places where your hurts can be healed in a climate of love and unconditional acceptance. You will become aware of the joy of maturing into Christ’s likeness. Here you will study the absolute truth of God’s Word and learn how to apply it to your daily lives. In our groups we have witnessed God at work in people’s lives many times. The reason is that in our groups are people just like you: people who have trusted Christ as their Savior and who face the same struggles as you. These people are growing because they are sharing their lives with other believers and God uses the experiences of everyone in the group to minister and encourage each other. This type of fellowship usually only occurs within a smaller group of believers, which is why we feel they are essential to the growth of every believer at Grace Church.
