Growing in Grace (GiG) Groups and Bible studies
What are GiG Groups??
Come Grow in Grace with us!
Growing in Grace is a new small group program here on the North Coast. It is designed to address our shared need to think about, discuss, and engage with our faith within our church community. This need is especially crucial in today’s social and political climate, which often features strong opposition and toxic exchanges. In the church, we have a unique opportunity to unite in the love of Jesus Christ, regardless of our differences.
So how does Growing in Grace, one of our community groups, work?
We meet in small groups of up to 10 people once a week, either online or in person. Usually, the leader sends out a discussion topic a few days in advance, allowing everyone to come prepared.
Examples of questions we’ve explored include:
"How can I make better decisions in my life?"
"How can I make my faith known to others?"
"How do I know that God loves me as I am, and what does that mean for my actions?"
We always begin and end our meetings with a prayer. The leader aims to provide insights based on their own life and faith experiences. Then, each person takes turns responding to the question. We’re not here to fix one another; there are no right or wrong answers. Our goal is for everyone to listen attentively and keep an open mind while others speak. After everyone has shared, the leader may summarize some of the key ideas discussed in the group. The meeting concludes with another prayer.
Bible Studies
In addition to our small group programs, we hold Bible studies on Wednesdays at 11:45 AM, focusing on various topics and preparing for upcoming worship scriptures. Join us Thursdays at 4:00 PM on Zoom for further study.
