Adults
Celebrate
community.
At Grace, we celebrate the community that we are as a whole, and we also seek to create opportunities to gather in small groups so that we can get to know each other and share life together. All of these groups welcome new people to join them!
Small Groups
We have ongoing and seasonal groups that get together (online and in-person) to build relationships and be in community.
Bible and Book Studies
We love to learn together as a community. We have opportunities to gather with others to discuss a book, a tough question, or stories from the Bible.
Sunday Forums
Most weekends, we gather in Friendship Hall after worship to learn together. Our forums are led by a variety of people and cover a variety of topics. Pick up a treat and cup of coffee and join us for these important conversations!

Thursday Morning Bible Study
October 4-18 with Rev. Lee Hallstrom
THE DIDACHE - the most important book you have never heard of! This piece of Christian literature that did not make it into the canon of the bible, is an early handbook of an anonymous Christian community. It spells out how these early Christian converts were seeking to follow the way and the teachings of Jesus. This relatively small document sheds light on the early followers of Jesus and can enlighten the way Christians are church today.
October 25-November 1 with Chuck Swanson
Life in the Universe - Movies like “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” illustrate our fascination with aliens from outer space. But the search for life elsewhere in the universe begins with looking for suitable planets around other stars that could support life, intelligent or not, as we know it on Earth. This class will describe the methods used to find such planets (called “exoplanets”) and then consider the implications for our faith in God should life be found on any of them. Chuck Swanson will lead this topic.
November 8 with Dr. Jim Ollhoff
Revelation for Tired People. The book of Revelation was written for people who were exhausted, fearful, and at the end of their rope. Are there insights for us today?

Sunday Forums
Most Sundays, September-May, we gather after worship to learn together! Forums are led by pastors, lay leaders, and guest presenters and the topics vary from week to week. Sunday Forums take place in Friendship Hall, which is located at the south end of the building, right next to the coffee and cookies! Forums start around 10:40a and go for 45-60 minutes.
Kids can hang out in a supervised area during the Sunday Forum! Children whose parents are attending Sunday Forums are invited to come to that Sunday’s age-appropriate activity.
